Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Townley Place
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Against the Sangamon County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Food insecurity runs 7.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Housing insecurity runs 6.4% against 14.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 2% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
