Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Scarsdale

The voucher gap is 35.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $2,387 a month, rents run 36% over what the rest of Arlington Heights commands.

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.6/10. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Cook County average of 45.6%.

The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 104 evictions over 15 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2011, when 4.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
