Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairview Heights
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.2/10. It sits 0.9 points below the St. Clair County average of 4.5. Average gross rent is $1,035, 12% below the Fairview Heights average.
On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10.
Against average income of $77,953, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 55% 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.
