Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Knoll Crest
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10. Against Peoria County at 45.5%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 3/10.
At $1,027 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Peoria Heights commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.
Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10.
It tracks the Peoria County average of 4.3 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $52,903.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
