H &K Trailer Court spans 6 census tracts of Decatur, IL and houses 13,404 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Decatur baseline of 26.5%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $620 a month, rents sit 27% under what the rest of Decatur commands. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.1 to 6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 27.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
