Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Vermilion Heights

Average gross rent is $490, 42% below the Danville average. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Vermilion County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. 72% 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.4/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.9% against 31.5% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.9/10.

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.
