What drives eviction risk in Morton
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. At $874 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Morton commands.
Against the Tazewell County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $89,386, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
