Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hyde Park
SNAP participation runs 37.1% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 26.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The dominant input is regional political climate at 8.3/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10.
The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 448 evictions over 13 years of observation.
It sits 0.8 points above the St. Louis City average of 4.4. The worst year on record was 2017, when 15.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 12.9% of renter households face a filing.
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.
