Valley View maps to a single census tract in Wayne, IL and houses 4,400 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. At $1,161 a month, rents sit 59% under what the rest of Wayne commands.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.
Cost burden runs 41% against 34.5% citywide, putting Valley View 6.4% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 4.9% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2011, is well off that peak. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
