HOLC grade: A: Best

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ravinia

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Lake County average of 4.4.

At $1,521 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Highland Park commands. SNAP participation runs 3.7% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 4.9% against 14.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 11% 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. Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $213,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
