Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Harrison Park
Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,280 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Springfield commands.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Sangamon County average of 4.2.
Housing insecurity runs 6.0% against 14.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 13.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 19% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.5/10.
Against average income of $117,639, annual rent is just 13%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
