Heritage West is a one-tract neighborhood of Batavia, IL and houses 6,832 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 36.1% citywide, putting Heritage West 16.6% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. 16% 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 filing record is not thin: 36 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 7.6% of adults, 10.2 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 2.8% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,482, 10% above the Batavia average of $1,347. Judgments average 1.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
