Rockford Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 54.3% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 54%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Housing insecurity runs 34.5% against 14.2% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $26,509, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

At $768 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Rockford commands. Against the Winnebago County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
