Forest Grove maps to a single census tract in Glen Carbon, IL, population 9,557. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Against a Glen Carbon baseline of 26.2%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.

One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
