Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairview Heights
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the St. Clair County average of 5.5 and below the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 41st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
In CDC survey modeling, about 14.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
