Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Carpentersville
What moves this score most is 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 Carpentersville eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Kane County average of 5.3 and above the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 78th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 288 eviction filings here over 3 tracked years, with about 11.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 12.8% of renter households in 2010.
