Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sesser

Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Sesser as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $58,512, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. 41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Average gross rent is $702, close to the Sesser average.

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.
