Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Explorer Village
Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10.
Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 22% 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 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $98,594, annual rent is just 13%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Will County average of 4.2 closely. Average gross rent is $1,101, close to the Braidwood average.
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.
