Riverview spans 13 census tracts of Des Plaines, IL and houses 50,540 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Des Plaines baseline of 26.0%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Scores across the 13 constituent tracts range from 3 to 6.4. A 3.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Court records carry 1,878 eviction filings across its 13 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. At $1,387 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Des Plaines commands.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 17.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
