Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Prairie View

The voucher gap is 22.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. Food insecurity runs 6.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.2/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against Lake County at 42.6%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $200,417, annual rent is just 13%.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
