Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Granite City
54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Madison County average of 42.1%. Average gross rent is $1,042, 25% above the Granite City average. The clearest offset is economic stress at 2.4/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 114 filings here across 11 tracked years. Against the Madison County average of 4.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 5.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.
In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
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.
