Springfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2.5/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Sangamon County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. SNAP participation runs 25.1% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Springfield. 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 #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Springfield eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract.

Social vulnerability reads 5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,012, close to the Springfield average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $53,884.

39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
