Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in O'Fallon

Against St. Louis City at 41.6%, roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $28,411 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 27.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Housing insecurity runs 31.9% against 14.2% nationally.

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%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

It sits 1.1 points above the St. Louis City average of 4.4. The filing record is not thin: 870 evictions over 13 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2008 at 16.0% 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.

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.
