Westchester Eviction Risk: Moderate , Springfield

86% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2.5/10. Against the Sangamon County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

SNAP participation runs 25.9% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 25.3% against 17.8% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
