Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southwood
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.3/10. The voucher gap is 20.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,300 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Champaign commands.
Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Champaign County average of 5.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.
SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $92,882, annual rent is just 17%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
