Hawthorne Place Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,871 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Hawthorne Place maps to a single census tract in Springfield, IL and houses 1,871 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.6% of adults, 10.2 points below the national rate.

Average gross rent is $1,034, 6% above the Springfield average of $975. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Springfield, it ranks #13 by risk, the lower third.

Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
