Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Morton
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Tazewell County average of 4.2. Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally.
Average gross rent is $891, 17% below the Morton average. SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $126,432, annual rent is just 8%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
