Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Frat Park

Annualized rent equals 231% of average household income of $5,982, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10.

SNAP participation runs 44.3% against 15.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 60% here against 44.1% across Champaign County. The poverty rate is 87%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

100% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10.

Against the Champaign County average of 5.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.3/10. Housing insecurity runs 23.8% against 14.2% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #9,433 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.6 points hotter.

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.
