Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Buffalo Grove
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. The voucher gap is 32.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.3/10.
It sits 1.4 points below the Lake County average of 4.4. Housing insecurity runs 6.0% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,334, 15% above the Buffalo Grove average.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 15% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.6/10. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
