Sunny Crest takes in 2 census tracts of Flossmoor, IL and houses 10,277 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Flossmoor rate of 22.4%.
The voucher gap is 46.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 6.2, a 3.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.9/10.
At $2,576 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Flossmoor commands. Filings are well documented here: 579 across 2 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.6/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 41.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.9% in 2015, is well off that peak.
At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
