Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rockton

At $1,620 a month, rents run 77% over what the rest of Rockton commands. The voucher gap is 37.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.7/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Winnebago County average of 4.3. Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 8% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $121,293, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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