Fairview Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.1. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records carry 113 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10.

Cost burden runs 30% against 26.5% citywide, putting Fairview Heights 3.4% over its own city. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 4.2% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2006, is well off that peak. At $1,105 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Oakmont commands.

Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
