Vinegar Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate , Springfield

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $722 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Springfield commands.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Sangamon County average of 4.2.

SNAP participation runs 23.0% against 15.2% nationally. 43% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Sangamon County average of 38.5%.

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 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $50,000, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

62% 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.
