Field Park takes in 2 census tracts of La Grange Park, IL, population 9,750. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the La Grange Park rate of 32.4%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,855 a month, rents sit 29% over what the rest of La Grange Park commands.
The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 3.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 23 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. 3.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 3.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2013, is well off that peak. At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $206,857, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
