40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Cook County average of 45.6%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 220 filings here across 15 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 10.4% against 17.8% nationally.

That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $93,375, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
