West Chicago Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the DuPage County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 3.1/10.

Nationally it ranks #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 13% 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 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $110,833, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,471, close to the West Chicago average.

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.
