Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Leverett Place
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Madison County average of 5.6 and above the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 18.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 176 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 4.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.5% of renter households in 2009.
