Cooper Park Eviction Risk: Lower

Against a Springfield baseline of 29.4%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.

Court records for this tract carry 711 eviction filings. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 7.4% of renter households. That places it #17 of 25 neighborhoods in Springfield.

Judgments average 3.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Southern Hills and Oak Grove. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,001, close to the Springfield average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $45,705.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 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.
