Lake Whitehurst Cliffs is a one-tract neighborhood of Pekin, IL, population 2,028. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Pekin rate of 25.1%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,006, 23% above the Pekin average of $819. 13% 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.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Pekin, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Sunset Hills and Holiday Hills. Against average income of $70,231, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 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.
