Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Plainfield

The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Will County average of 40.4%.

At $1,728 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Plainfield commands. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3.1/10.

Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 14% 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 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
