Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Frat Park

Annualized rent equals 90% of average household income of $14,066, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 60%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 99% 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. On the high side, 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. Against Champaign County at 44.1%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 25.9% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
