Botanical Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate , St. Louis

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is regional political climate at 8.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.

The voucher gap is 24.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 400 evictions over 13 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 10.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 9.1% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.3/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
