Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $85,086, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
