Elwood Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Average gross rent is $993, 17% below the Elwood average. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 13% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $101,174, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition 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.

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.
