Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Pleasant
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
Court records carry 373 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Filings peaked in 2008 at 4.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 2.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $90,149, annual rent is just 18%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
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.
