Pleasant District takes in 4 census tracts of Forest Park, IL, population 14,421. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Forest Park baseline of 28.4%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. 16% 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. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 5.5 to 6.5. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,796 across 4 observed tracts.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 5.2% of renter households.
Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Against average income of $82,763, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,379, close to the Forest Park average. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
