Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Baden

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The dominant input is economic stress at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Disability prevalence runs 48.6% against 31.5% nationally. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.3/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

Against the St. Louis City average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 768 filings here across 13 tracked years.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The worst year on record was 2015, when 19.6% of renter households were served.

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 17.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, 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.
