Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Freeport

Against the Stephenson County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. Disability prevalence runs 45.3% against 31.5% nationally.
12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
