Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Riverview
What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well below the Cook County average of 5.7 and below the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 17.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 110 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 1.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.9% of renter households in 2013.
