Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Northbrook

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 5.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 263 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 17.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 18.2% of renter households in 2017.
