Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hidden Creek

78% 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. Cost burden runs 36% here against 45.6% across Cook County.

The dominant input is regional political climate at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,406, 20% below the Arlington Heights average. Food insecurity runs 28.0% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 3/10. SNAP participation runs 24.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 617 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2010 at 4.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
