Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Creekside

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

Average gross rent is $1,165, 28% below the Rolling Meadows average. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 99 filings here across 14 tracked years.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2013 at 6.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
