South Hill maps to a single census tract in Bloomington, IL, population 3,797. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, Moderate tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Bloomington rate of 24.9%.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.
Average gross rent is $802, 24% below the Bloomington average of $1,050. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
SNAP participation is 30.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the high side is economic stress at 7.7/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.
Food insecurity affects 26.8% of adults, 9.0 points above the national rate. That places it #1 of 20 neighborhoods in Bloomington.
For a like-for-like read, Ridgewood Terrace and Pone Hollow score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Against average income of $48,958, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 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.
