Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Lenox
Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against Will County at 40.4%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.7/10.
Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Will County average of 4.2. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 9% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $126,442, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
