Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hoffman Estates
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,102, 79% above the Hoffman Estates average.
The voucher gap is 76.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally.
Court records carry 94 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 7.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
