Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fieldstone
At $1,846 a month, rents run 36% over what the rest of Elgin commands. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.

SNAP participation runs 25.6% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Housing insecurity runs 23.2% against 14.2% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 259 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 6.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
