Wolfs Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 6,783 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3–3.5

Wolfs spans 2 census tracts of Aurora, IL and houses 6,783 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. At $2,369 a month, rents sit 48% over what the rest of Aurora commands.

The voucher gap is 34.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.5/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 18.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.

Against a Aurora baseline of 28.2%, 31% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. That places it #8 of 9 neighborhoods in Aurora.

At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $124,487.

With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
