Braeside maps to a single census tract in Highland Park, IL, population 3,624. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 44% 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.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10.
Cost burden runs 44% against 35.7% citywide, putting Braeside 8.1% over its own city. Food insecurity affects 4.3% of adults, 13.5 points below the national rate.
SNAP participation is 3.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Highland Park, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.
Only 5% 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. Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is only 9%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,895, close to the Highland Park average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
