Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westmont

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 12% 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. Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $155,069, annual rent is just 12%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the DuPage County average of 4.4 closely.

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.
