5 census tracts · pop 20,575 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10
· range 3.4–5.7
Foxcroft spans 5 census tracts of Wheaton, IL, population 20,575. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Wheaton baseline of 27.4%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.4 to 5.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $113,234, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,742, close to the Wheaton average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 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.
