Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Metro West

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.7/10.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Against the Peoria County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Average gross rent is $888, 12% below the Peoria average.

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. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.2/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $71,761, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
