Gregory Place is a 3-tract neighborhood of Urbana, IL and houses 9,196 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 50%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Urbana baseline of 38.4%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The poverty rate is 52%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. On the high side is economic stress at 9/10.
This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 8.4/10. SNAP participation is 26.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 29.0% of adults, 11.2 points above the national rate.
Average gross rent is $1,115, 15% above the Urbana average of $972. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Urbana, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Cottages at Illinois and Edgewood.
With little internal variation, 8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
