Clintonville maps to a single census tract in South Elgin, IL, population 8,230. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the South Elgin rate of 33.0%.
The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 61 evictions logged in this tract.
At $1,448 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of South Elgin commands. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 8.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.7% in 2011 against a 8.6% peak.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of South Elgin, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Niskayuna and Hawkins Glen. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, 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.
