Analysis
What drives eviction risk in College Green
24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.
The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.3 points above the Kane County average of 4.1. Average gross rent is $1,130, 17% below the Elgin average.
Food insecurity runs 26.9% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 93 eviction filings across 3 observed years. Housing insecurity runs 21.5% against 14.2% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 4.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.9% of renter households face a filing.
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.
