Northfield Woods is a 3-tract neighborhood of Glenview, IL, population 11,520. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. Against a Glenview baseline of 37.1%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.2 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10. At $1,590 a month, rents sit 26% under what the rest of Glenview commands.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. Court records carry 366 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 5.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Glenview. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
