Sunset Hills maps to a single census tract in Peoria, IL, population 3,921. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Peoria baseline of 30.0%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. At $788 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Peoria commands.
13% 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. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.
That places it #10 of 16 neighborhoods in Peoria. The closest comparables inside the same city are Columbia Terrace North and East Bluff. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $44,963.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
