Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Elmhurst
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 26.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Food insecurity runs 5.8% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the DuPage County average of 4.4. Average gross rent is $2,220, 12% above the Elmhurst average.
On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $152,055, annual rent is just 18%.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
