Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Peoria Heights

The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.4/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

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. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Against average income of $69,048, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 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. Average gross rent is $894, close to the Peoria Heights average.
