Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Urbana

52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Champaign County average of 35.2%. At $1,438 a month, rents run 54% over what the rest of Urbana commands.

The voucher gap is 58.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

The filing record is not thin: 278 evictions over 12 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2005 at 10.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.4% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
