Gilletts maps to a single census tract in New Lenox, IL, population 6,786. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a New Lenox baseline of 31.1%, 21% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.7/10. Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
At 2% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
