Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Prospect
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 6.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Mount Prospect eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Cook County average of 5.7 and in line with the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 417 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 1.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.8% of renter households in 2011.
The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 79th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
