Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greystone Fields

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Against the McLean County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.7 points. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $29,772 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.

67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. SNAP participation runs 29.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,073, 11% above the Normal average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.5/10.

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.
