Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Cottages at Illinois

SNAP participation runs 43.1% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 45%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Food insecurity runs 41.2% against 17.8% nationally. Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income of $32,545, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10. It sits 1.9 points above the Champaign County average of 5.8.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.3/10. The voucher gap is 20.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
