Chinatown is a one-tract neighborhood of Maryville, IL, population 10,799. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for about one in five of renter households.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 149 evictions logged in this tract.
8% 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. Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 5.3% of renter households.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Only 19% 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. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,190, close to the Maryville average.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
