Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Bluff

The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Peoria County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. The voucher gap is 13.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,134, 13% above the Peoria average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Peoria eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
