Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Crest Hill
The clearest offset is economic stress at 2.3/10. 33% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Will County average of 40.4%. It sits 1.3 points above the Will County average of 4.2.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 6.9/10. The voucher gap is 14.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 3% 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 3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $80,778.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
