Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Homer Glen
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.3/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,478, 21% below the Homer Glen average.
On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.4/10. Food insecurity runs 10.6% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Will County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.
That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 6% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $113,472, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
