Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wheaton
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 35% here against 41.4% across DuPage County. Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,555, 14% below the Wheaton average.
That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 14% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the DuPage County average of 4.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $103,333.
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.
