Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West Chicago
It sits 2.3 points above the DuPage County average of 4.4. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.5% against 11.3% nationally.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,784, 21% above the West Chicago average.
Housing insecurity runs 24.6% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7/10. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from West Chicago eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.
Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
