Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kingsway East
22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
Cost burden runs 34% here against 41.6% across St. Louis City. At $794 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of St. Louis commands. Food insecurity runs 29.0% against 17.8% nationally.
The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 25.8% against 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 1,146 evictions over 13 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2011 at 14.0% 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 12.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
