Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Dobbins Downs

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.3/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The voucher gap is 15.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,247, 11% above the Champaign average. That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Champaign County average of 5.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $68,000.

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.
