Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Worden
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 8.1/10. 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 Worden, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Madison County average of 5.6 and in line with the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 29 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 1.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.4% of renter households in 2015.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 6th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
