Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 13.6% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Moon Lake is $1,043/month. About 21.0% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 31.0%, unemployment 19.8%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.
