Kingsway West Eviction Risk: Moderate , St. Louis

33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 31.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The score leans hardest on regional political climate at 8.3/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 886 filings here across 13 tracked years.

It sits 0.9 points above the St. Louis City average of 4.4. Filings peaked in 2008 at 13.9% of renter households.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for St. Louis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 10.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
