· range 3.1–4.9
Fieldstone spans 3 census tracts of Elgin, IL, population 14,713. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Elgin baseline of 29.5%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.1 to 4.9. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. At $1,661 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Elgin commands. Filings are well documented here: 754 across 3 observed tracts.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 3/10. Food insecurity affects 27.5% of adults, 9.7 points above the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 17.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #7 of 16 neighborhoods in Elgin.
Only 26% 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.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
