Oakglen Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 16,044 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 5.2–7.3

Oakglen spans 3 census tracts of Lansing, IL, population 16,044. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 31.2% citywide, putting Oakglen 19.1% over its own city.

36% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 5.2 to 7.3. A 2.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,228 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 11.1% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 7.0% in 2015 against a 11.1% peak. Only 26% 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. Against average income of $82,623, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent runs $1,235, close to the Lansing average.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.1 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.
