Shorewood is a 3-tract neighborhood of Glendale Heights, IL and houses 13,536 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Glendale Heights baseline of 28.0%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 6, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,724, 8% above the Glendale Heights average of $1,590. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $95,816.
38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
