Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Elmhurst

The voucher gap is 46.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

At $2,580 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Elmhurst commands. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 5.0% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 3.8% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the DuPage County average of 4.4. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 3% 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 1.2/10.

Against average income of $192,098, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
