· range 3.5–7.6
Holbrook spans 4 census tracts of Homewood, IL, population 16,352. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.5 to 7.6, a 4.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Homewood rate of 32.7%. At $1,664 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of Homewood commands.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Court records carry 590 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 9.2% of renter households. Judgments average 2.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $85,267.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 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.
