Harbor Ridge is a 2-tract neighborhood of Zion, IL and houses 6,123 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Zion baseline of 31.7%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Food insecurity affects 33.4% of adults, 15.6 points above the national rate. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7/10.
At $1,259 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Zion commands. For a like-for-like read, Horizon Village and Brighton Ponds score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 7.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
