Skinker DeBaliviere Eviction Risk: Moderate , St. Louis

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on regional political climate at 8.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The voucher gap is 17.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 5.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 174 filings here across 13 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Cost burden runs 46% here against 41.6% across St. Louis City. Filings peaked in 2005 at 3.9% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
