What drives eviction risk in Southtown
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 54.8% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 51%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Housing insecurity runs 37.5% against 14.2% nationally. 97% 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.
Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. At $795 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Peoria commands.
Against the Peoria County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.9/10. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Peoria. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
