Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Peoria
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 2.2/10. Against Tazewell County at 39.2%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $725, 18% below the East Peoria average.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.9/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7/10.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $67,849, annual rent is just 13%.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least 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.
