Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Townes at Barclay

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Lake County average of 4.4. Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The voucher gap is 12.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Against average income of $145,000, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,984, close to the Buffalo Grove average.

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