Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Payson

The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Adams County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

Running cool, regional political climate reads 2.7/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $73,036, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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