Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Skinker DeBaliviere
The score leans hardest on regional political climate at 8.3/10. 51% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the St. Louis City average of 41.6%.
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 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,161, 16% above the St. Louis average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 457 filings here across 13 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 7.5% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.
In a typical year about 4.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
