SNAP participation is 41.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.5/10.
The poverty rate is 38%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent.

Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Danville, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Holbrook-Ross and Tanglewydle score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $791, close to the Danville average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $32,337.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
