Tamara Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Elgin, IL and houses 4,036 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.3% of adults, 10.5 points below the national rate.
That places it #11 of 16 neighborhoods in Elgin. Only 1% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodbridge South and Fox River Bluffs. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
