Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, 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. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $790, 18% below the Springfield average of $964. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,052 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 8.6% of renter households. Among the 25 mapped neighborhoods of Springfield, it ranks #21 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 4.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mark Twain and Seminole/Holland. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $41,817.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
