Young-Lilly takes in 2 census tracts of Springfield, MO and houses 8,872 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Against a Springfield baseline of 29.4%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,164, 21% above the Springfield average of $964. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
The voucher gap is 16.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #23 of 25 neighborhoods in Springfield.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes.
28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
