Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Des Plaines
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Cook County average of 45.6%.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 4.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
