H &K Trailer Court Eviction Risk: Moderate , Decatur

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.6 points below the Macon County average of 4.7.

At $928 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Decatur commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $65,450, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 31% of renters.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
