What drives eviction risk in Walnut Valley
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2.5/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, supply constraint reads 3/10.
It sits 0.7 points above the Sangamon County average of 4.2. 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.
On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Springfield eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Average gross rent is $910, close to the Springfield average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $53,958.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
