Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Spencer
Against Will County at 40.4%, 84% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,797, 26% above the New Lenox average.
It sits 1.2 points below the Will County average of 4.2. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.7/10. Food insecurity runs 7.5% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 3% 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 1.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $141,823, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
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.
