Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Chicago

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10. It sits 2.0 points above the DuPage County average of 4.4. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,234, 16% below the West Chicago average.

Adults with no health insurance runs 19.1% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $83,438, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
