Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southwicke
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 6.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Streamwood eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Cook County average of 5.7 and above the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 22.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 371 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 17.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 56.5% of renter households in 2007.
