Indian Hill is a 11-tract neighborhood of Chicago Heights, IL and houses 39,131 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. The 11 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 7.8, a 4.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Against a Chicago Heights baseline of 30.3%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $1,786, 72% above the Chicago Heights average of $1,038. The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 26.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filings are well documented here: 3,438 across 11 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 14.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.5% in 2015, is well off that peak. Against average income of $116,188, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 4.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
