Fair Vernon Eviction Risk: Elevated

34% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 2.2/10. At $2,190 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Springfield commands. 3.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

SNAP participation is 5.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Springfield, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Monticello Forest and Beverly Forest. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $120,570. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 6.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
