Brook Lane Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 20.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. At $2,116 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Palos Heights commands. Filings are well documented here: 92 across 2 observed tracts.

Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 14.5% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 9.2% in 2015 against a 14.5% peak. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 3.1/10 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.
