Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Swansea

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,432, 26% above the Swansea average.

Against the St. Clair County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. The voucher gap is 17.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 10% of average household income of $164,583, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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