Analysis
What drives eviction risk in St. Jacob
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 5.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Madison County average of 5.6 and in line with the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
