Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Woodlawn, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Rolling Ridge and Featherbed.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $81,807, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5/10 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.
