Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Thornley
69% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Kane County average of 45.5%. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Food insecurity runs 6.1% against 17.8% nationally.
At $1,476 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of St. Charles commands. Against the Kane County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.
SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 14% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $159,375, annual rent is just 11%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
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.
