Fernway Park takes in 3 census tracts of Orland Hills, IL and houses 10,457 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,197, 62% above the Orland Hills average of $1,359.
Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 24.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.6, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Against a Orland Hills baseline of 28.0%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 114 evictions logged in this tract. Only 16% 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.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $102,243.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
