Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Urbana, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 41% of renter households. Average gross rent runs $967, close to the Urbana average. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
