Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Knoll Crest

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. Against Peoria County at 45.5%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Average gross rent is $836, 17% below the Peoria average. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. 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 #45,786 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.

Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $65,250, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Peoria County average of 4.3 closely.

32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
