Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Century Oaks
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.6/10.
Against the Kane County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 219 evictions over 3 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 7.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,368, close to the Elgin average.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $66,143. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
