Coleman maps to a single census tract in South Elgin, IL, population 2,929. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a South Elgin baseline of 33.0%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $1,021, 38% below the South Elgin average of $1,640. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.
20% 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. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in South Elgin. Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 7% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 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.
