Elmhurst Eviction Risk: Lower

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the DuPage County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Average gross rent is $1,778, 10% below the Elmhurst average.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $138,125, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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