· range 3.3–4.2
Piper Glen takes in 2 census tracts of Oswego, IL and houses 9,800 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. At $649 a month, rents sit 65% under what the rest of Oswego commands.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 33% of renter households.
The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Only 6% 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. Against average income of $111,000, annual rent is only 7%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 3.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
