Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wheaton

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.6/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the DuPage County average of 41.4%. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $102,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the DuPage County average of 4.4 closely. 41% 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.
