Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Carpentersville
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 6.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

The tract is predominantly Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 58th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
