13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.6/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 6.9/10.
At $713 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Fairmount commands. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.9/10. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $66,330, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.
