Bensons Highland Addition Eviction Risk: Elevated

The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 77%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 35% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Food insecurity affects 45.9% of adults, 28.1 points above the national rate.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10. Disability prevalence reaches 45.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

Average gross rent is $1,110, 15% above the Normal average of $965. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Normal, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Highland Historic District and Vernon Stables.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
