· range 3–3.4
Woodland Chase spans 2 census tracts of Buffalo Grove, IL and houses 6,837 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, Lower tier. 66% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Buffalo Grove rate of 24.7%.
The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 17.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Food insecurity affects 7.0% of adults, 10.8 points below the national rate.
Average gross rent is $1,883, 8% below the Buffalo Grove average of $2,037. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
