Creekside is a 2-tract neighborhood of Rolling Meadows, IL and houses 7,715 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Rolling Meadows rate of 28.2%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.2 to 5.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 15% 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.
Court records carry 972 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. Disability prevalence reaches 19.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
SNAP participation is 6.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 15.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. At $1,485 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Rolling Meadows commands. The closest comparables inside the same city are Williamsburg and Fairfax Village.
Against average income of $119,415, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
