Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Buffalo Grove

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 33.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.4/10.

Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. Food insecurity runs 5.5% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.1% against 14.2% nationally.

At $2,355 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Buffalo Grove commands. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $188,384, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
