Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pontoon Beach
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Pontoon Beach, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Madison County average of 5.6 and above the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 601 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 14.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 26.1% of renter households in 2007.
In CDC survey modeling, about 15.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
