· range 3–3.8
Wingate spans 3 census tracts of Rockton, IL and houses 15,330 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Rockton baseline of 27.0%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.1/10. At $714 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Rockton commands. 16% 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.
Only 26% 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. Against average income of $85,790, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion.
Its 3 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
