Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Scraper-Moecherville
Average gross rent is $925, 42% below the Aurora average. SNAP participation runs 38.0% against 15.2% nationally.
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Housing insecurity runs 31.6% against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Kane County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions over 3 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2010 at 1.1% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.8/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
