On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Lake County average of 4.4. Housing insecurity runs 4.7% against 14.2% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago.

Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 9% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $216,140, annual rent is just 9%.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

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