Woodbridge South maps to a single census tract in Elgin, IL and houses 9,282 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 43% 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.
Cost burden runs 46% against 29.5% citywide, putting Woodbridge South 16.8% over its own city. Average gross rent is $1,797, 32% above the Elgin average of $1,361. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 69 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 19.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.8% in 2011, is well off that peak. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Elgin, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third.
At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Fox River Bluffs and Providence. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
