Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Preserves
78% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Lake County average of 42.6%. At $2,152 a month, rents run 45% over what the rest of Grayslake commands. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10.
Disability prevalence runs 17.2% against 31.5% nationally. The voucher gap is 22.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
It sits 1.4 points below the Lake County average of 4.4. Food insecurity runs 6.9% against 17.8% nationally.
Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.2/10. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 6% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $157,195, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
