· range 4.4–6
Glen Oak takes in 3 census tracts of Lombard, IL and houses 13,153 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Lombard baseline of 31.8%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $1,379, 29% below the Lombard average of $1,948. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.4 to 6, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. The closest comparables inside the same city are Highland Hills and Flowerfield.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
