Alpine is a 3-tract neighborhood of Orland Park, IL, population 13,851. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $756, 48% below the Orland Park average of $1,440.
Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Orland Park rate of 33.1%. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10.
The filing record is not thin: 74 evictions logged in this tract. The voucher gap is 13.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 6.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 15.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 7.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. Only 6% 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.
Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3.2/10 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.
