Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Belmont

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. Against the DuPage County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition 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. Average gross rent is $1,656, close to the Downers Grove average.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $67,964.

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.
