Against Winnebago County at 44.4%, 93% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.2/10.
SNAP participation runs 28.0% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Winnebago County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.
At $850 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Rockford commands. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10.
Housing insecurity runs 21.3% against 14.2% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Rockford. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $47,275.
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.
