Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Utopia

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. At $1,916 a month, rents run 33% over what the rest of Villa Park commands. 19% 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 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 20% 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. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, 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.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $87,625.
