Edgewater Eviction Risk: Moderate , Rockford

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 29.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Winnebago County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. At $1,146 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Rockford commands.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Rockford. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Rockford rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

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.
