Red Gate Ridge maps to a single census tract in St. Charles, IL and houses 6,444 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. roughly one in eight of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly below the St. Charles rate of 33.3%.
At $2,629 a month, rents sit 45% over what the rest of St. Charles commands. The voucher gap is 49.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. 3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
8% 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. 4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of St. Charles, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third.
Only 9% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Thornley and Lake Charlotte. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
