Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Granite City
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.7/10. Cost burden runs 48% here against 42.1% across Madison County. Running cool, economic stress reads 3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 398 evictions over 11 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2010 at 18.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 12.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 17% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $55,571, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
It tracks the Madison County average of 4.8 closely. Average gross rent is $814, close to the Granite City average.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
