Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sunny Crest
Cost burden runs 96% here against 45.6% across Cook County. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $84,375 and the ratio lands at 50%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The voucher gap is 98.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 147 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2011, when 4.6% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
