· range 3.6–5.4
Skevanston takes in 5 census tracts of Skokie, IL, population 21,799. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Skokie rate of 34.2%.
35% 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 main counterweight is economic stress, at 2/10. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.6 to 5.4, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
At $1,890 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Skokie commands. Filings are well documented here: 527 across 5 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 6.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.7% in 2015, is well off that peak.
At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 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.
