Flowerfield spans 3 census tracts of Lombard, IL, population 15,878. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.6 to 5.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. At $1,681 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Lombard commands. SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate. The closest comparables inside the same city are Glen Oak and Highland Hills.
Against average income of $108,917, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 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.
