Hershey Grove maps to a single census tract in Bloomington, IL, population 5,006. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
about one in five of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Bloomington rate of 24.9%. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
At $1,195 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Bloomington commands. SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The voucher gap is 10.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #15 of 20 neighborhoods in Bloomington. For a like-for-like read, St. Ivans at Fox Creek and Eagle Ridge score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.1/10 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.
