Wheaton Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $1,282 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Wheaton commands. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 3.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $96,389, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. 39% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the DuPage County average of 4.4 closely.

35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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