Almora is a one-tract neighborhood of Elgin, IL and houses 3,831 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 52%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs around two-thirds against 29.5% citywide, putting Almora 38.4% over its own city. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 63 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $1,193, 12% below the Elgin average of $1,361.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 5.8% of renter households. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Elgin, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 3.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Against average income of $105,211, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
