What drives eviction risk in Lavergne
Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.9% against 11.3% nationally. Court records carry 274 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 5.2% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #17,650 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
