Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fairview Heights

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 1.4 points below the St. Clair County average of 4.5.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.2/10. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $87,375, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,184, close to the Fairview Heights average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
