Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gurnee

The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against Lake County at 42.6%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 1.2 points below the Lake County average of 4.4.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,368, 17% below the Gurnee average.

On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $144,375, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
