Winston Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 21,336 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 3.5–4.5

Winston Park takes in 4 census tracts of Palatine, IL and houses 21,336 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for around a third of renter households. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.5 to 4.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Court records carry 912 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,791, 16% above the Palatine average of $1,549. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 10.1% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Palatine, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.

At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Plum Grove Village and Baldwin.

Against average income of $112,368, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
