Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Island
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.4% against 11.3% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 27.6% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 297 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2011 at 4.7% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
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.
