Prairie Hill maps to a single census tract in Rockford, IL, population 1,152. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Rockford baseline of 32.1%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $549, 44% below the Rockford average of $985. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 53%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Food insecurity affects 39.9% of adults, 22.1 points above the national rate. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 46.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Rockford, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
