Pigeon Hill maps to a single census tract in Bloomington, IN and houses 3,420 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 63% against 39.5% citywide, putting Pigeon Hill 23.0% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 9/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,016, 15% below the Bloomington average of $1,200. That places it #1 of 15 neighborhoods in Bloomington.
For a like-for-like read, Park Ridge and Near West Side score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $48,272. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
