Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Homer Glen

Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 40.4% across Will County. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.3/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

The voucher gap is 21.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,139, 15% above the Homer Glen average. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Will County average of 4.2 closely.

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.
