Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Highland Historic District
Cost burden runs 55% here against 34.8% across McLean County. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
It sits 2.7 points above the McLean County average of 4.6. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.
Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $35,203, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
