Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Peoria

roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Tazewell County average of 39.2%. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Against the Tazewell County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Peoria. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from East Peoria eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Average gross rent is $914, close to the East Peoria average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $53,424.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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