Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hoffman Estates
It sits 3.0 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. At $2,226 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Hoffman Estates commands.
The voucher gap is 26.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.6/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 185 filings here across 15 tracked years.
SNAP participation runs 7.7% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2006 at 5.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.4% of renter households face a filing.
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.
