Irisdale maps to a single census tract in Springfield, IL, population 2,481. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Springfield, it ranks #7 by risk, the middle third. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

One tract means one number: 4.8/10 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.
