Mount Prospect Eviction Risk: Lower

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.9 points. Average gross rent is $2,274, 51% above the Mount Prospect average.

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 29.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.9/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 78 eviction filings across 15 observed years. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 4.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 15% 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.
