· range 3–5.4
Sherwood spans 2 census tracts of Jerome, IL, population 5,806. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Jerome rate of 20.8%.
Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.4. A 2.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 3/10. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $945, close to the Jerome average.
32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
