Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Arlington Heights

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.8/10.

The voucher gap is 27.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,241, 27% above the Arlington Heights average. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.7/10.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 112 evictions over 15 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2004, when 5.8% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
