38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Champaign County average of 44.1%. Housing insecurity runs 5.6% against 14.2% nationally. Against the Champaign County average of 5.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $126,495, annual rent is just 10%.

Of its three components the housing type and transport 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.
