Highmoor is a 3-tract neighborhood of Highland Park, IL, population 11,616. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 46.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 46% against 35.7% citywide, putting Highmoor 9.9% over its own city. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10.
16% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
3.0% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,652, 14% below the Highland Park average of $1,925.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Highland Park, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $204,758, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
