Park Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Bloomington, IN, population 5,623. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Bloomington baseline of 39.5%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $41,887 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side is housing-court posture at 9/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10. At $1,431 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Bloomington commands.
The voucher gap is 17.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #1 of 15 neighborhoods in Bloomington. For a like-for-like read, Pigeon Hill and Near West Side score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
