Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Arlington Heights
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. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 92 eviction filings across 15 observed years. At $1,555 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Arlington Heights commands. 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 2008, when 5.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
