Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodbridge South

At $1,797 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Elgin commands. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

It sits 1.1 points below the Kane County average of 4.1. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 69 filings here across 3 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 19.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 10.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 24% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $131,329, annual rent is just 16%.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 46% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
