Hawkins Glen is a one-tract neighborhood of South Elgin, IL and houses 7,529 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 66%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a South Elgin baseline of 33.0%, 66% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 113% over what the rest of South Elgin commands. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 98.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 30 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 32.0% of renter households. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 10.5% in 2011, is well off that peak.
One tract means one number: 3.2/10 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.
