Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bensenville

55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the DuPage County average of 41.4%. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.9 points above the DuPage County average of 4.4.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. At $1,186 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Bensenville commands. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $80,733, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
