Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gurnee
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,261, 37% above the Gurnee average.
The voucher gap is 28.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.8/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Lake County average of 4.4.
Housing insecurity runs 6.7% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 3% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10.
Against average income of $198,954, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler.
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.
