Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westmont

37% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Against the DuPage County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 18% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,519, close to the Westmont average. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $100,341.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
