Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Godfrey
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.8/10. Against the Madison County average of 4.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points.
Average gross rent is $1,420, 23% above the Godfrey average. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.4/10. The voucher gap is 16.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 17 filings here across 9 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2008, when 6.3% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
