University East maps to a single census tract in Peoria, IL, population 2,960. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 56% 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.
70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Peoria rate of 30.0%. The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The dominant input is economic stress at 8.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $846, 16% below the Peoria average of $1,005. Food insecurity affects 29.2% of adults, 11.4 points above the national rate. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.
That places it #1 of 16 neighborhoods in Peoria. For a like-for-like read, North Florence and Moss Bradley score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $35,377.
59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
