Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Vermilion Heights

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.3/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.9/10. Against the Vermilion County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 25% 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. Social vulnerability reads 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Average gross rent is $790, close to the Danville average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $43,036.
