Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Alton
Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10.
Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 13 filings here across 7 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 3.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Madison County average of 4.8 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
