Oakridge maps to a single census tract in Bloomington, IL, population 3,843. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
roughly one in four of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. 13% 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.
At $876 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Bloomington commands. Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #16 of 20 neighborhoods in Bloomington. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are St. Ivans at Fox Creek and Eagle Ridge.
Rent takes 10% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
