Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Horizon Village
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Zion, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lake County average of 5.3 and above the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 61st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
In CDC survey modeling, about 16.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
