Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edwardsville
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 6.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Edwardsville, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 95 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 1.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.6% of renter households in 2008.
In CDC survey modeling, about 11.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
