Forest Hills maps to a single census tract in O'Fallon, IL and houses 5,117 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a O'Fallon baseline of 28.4%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $937, 30% below the O'Fallon average of $1,332.
The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. 4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 8% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
