Ridgewood Terrace spans 2 census tracts of Bloomington, IL, population 4,163. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Bloomington baseline of 24.9%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
33% 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. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.1/10.
The poverty rate is 37%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.
At $894 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Bloomington commands. SNAP participation is 25.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #1 of 20 neighborhoods in Bloomington. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $37,350.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
