Niskayuna Eviction Risk: Lower , South Elgin

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $2,123, 29% above the South Elgin average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10. The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.1/10. SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
