Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wheaton
Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is economic stress at 2.3/10. Housing insecurity runs 6.6% against 14.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,613, 10% below the Wheaton average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $121,548, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the DuPage County average of 4.4 closely.
