Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Des Plaines
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. What pushes it up most is regional political climate at 7.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 545 evictions over 15 years of observation.
At $1,453 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Des Plaines commands. The worst year on record was 2010, when 7.5% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 4.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Des Plaines eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract.
Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
