Highland East Eviction Risk: Lower , Bloomington

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10. 27% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the McLean County average of 34.8%.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the McLean County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.

Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $92,969, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,101, close to the Bloomington average.

41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
