West Chicago Eviction Risk: Elevated

Against the DuPage County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. At $938 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of West Chicago commands.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.2% against 11.3% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 26.1% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $77,383, annual rent is just 15%.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
