Brightview is a one-tract neighborhood of Normal, IL and houses 3,363 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. 40% 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 strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 62%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 78% 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 8.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10.
SNAP participation is 27.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Normal rate of 37.8%. Average gross rent is $833, 14% below the Normal average of $965.
Food insecurity affects 26.2% of adults, 8.4 points above the national rate. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Normal, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
