Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hidden Creek
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 3.0 points. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,420, 19% below the Arlington Heights average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 95 filings here across 15 tracked years. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Housing insecurity runs 6.9% against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2007, when 11.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
