Springdale Eviction Risk: Lower , Countryside

The voucher gap is 42.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $2,500 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Western Springs commands. Food insecurity runs 5.1% against 17.8% nationally.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.1/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The filing record is not thin: 8 evictions over 5 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2005, when 10.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 8.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
