What drives eviction risk in Highmoor
What moves this score most is supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

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.
