Mount Prospect Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Average gross rent is $1,837, 22% above the Mount Prospect average. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.1% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 257 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 4.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 19% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
