Against the Kane County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally.
Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 1% 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.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
