2 census tracts · pop 11,096 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10
· range 4.3–5.8
Sunset Hills spans 2 census tracts of Belleville, IL, population 11,096. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Belleville rate of 29.8%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.3 to 5.8, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The closest comparables inside the same city are McKinzie Place and Beverly Ann Heights. Average gross rent runs $1,042, close to the Belleville average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $60,843. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
