Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lavergne
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.9/10. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Cook County average of 45.6%. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.7% against 11.3% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 442 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Housing insecurity runs 21.9% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2008, when 5.8% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 4.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 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.
