York Center Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 11,055 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.1–4.3

York Center takes in 3 census tracts of Villa Park, IL and houses 11,055 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 26.1% citywide, putting York Center 26.9% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,010, 30% below the Villa Park average of $1,438.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.1 to 4.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 10% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
