Downers Grove Eviction Risk: Moderate

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against DuPage County at 41.4%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.6/10. At $1,334 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Downers Grove commands. Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.7% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $100,000, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, 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. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
