Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Seneca

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $888, 23% below the Seneca average. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.6/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Grundy County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.

That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $100,188, annual rent is just 11%.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
