Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Pleasant
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running hot, economic stress reads 8.6/10. 72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Average gross rent is $733, 26% below the St. Louis average.
Food insecurity runs 31.9% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.3/10.
Housing insecurity runs 26.1% against 14.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 48% here against 41.6% across St. Louis City. Against the St. Louis City average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.
Court records carry 1,994 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
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.
