North Northfield is a one-tract neighborhood of Wheeling, IL and houses 2,517 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 29% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 115 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 6.6% of renter households.
At $1,482 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Wheeling commands. 17.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 3.7% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $83,971. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
