Providence is a one-tract neighborhood of Elgin, IL and houses 4,941 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Elgin baseline of 29.5%, 100% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #11 of 16 neighborhoods in Elgin. At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Woodbridge South and Fox River Bluffs score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
