Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fox Lake

At $1,405 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Fox Lake commands. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.

It sits 1.6 points above the Lake County average of 4.4. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.2/10.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.1/10. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 24% 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 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
