· range 3–3
Woodridge maps to a single census tract in Highland Park, IL, population 2,933. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.6% 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. The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #4 of 5 neighborhoods in Highland Park.
At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Braeside and Highmoor score within a fraction of it. 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 $1,977, close to the Highland Park average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
