Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Highland Hills

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $69,396, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. It sits 1.6 points above the DuPage County average of 4.4.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against DuPage County at 41.4%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened. The voucher gap is 17.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Lombard eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $2,070, close to the Lombard average. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
