Prairie View is a one-tract neighborhood of Buffalo Grove, IL and houses 3,257 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Buffalo Grove baseline of 24.7%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. The voucher gap is 22.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Disability prevalence reaches 17.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Running hot is supply constraint at 7.2/10. SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
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. For a like-for-like read, Woodland Chase and The Townes at Barclay score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,154, close to the Buffalo Grove average.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
