Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lidice
Cost burden runs 78% here against 40.4% across Will County. Against the Will County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points.
The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 6.9/10. SNAP participation runs 24.6% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 25.1% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,647 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Crest Hill commands.
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. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 21% 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 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
