Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tract 17163502500

61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the St. Clair County average of 44.8%. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 47.4% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

It sits 1.3 points above the St. Clair County average of 4.5. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for East St. Louis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Model confidence here is 65%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. Average gross rent runs $643 a month.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
