Tower Lake is a one-tract neighborhood of Lake Barrington, IL and houses 3,917 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 14% against 51.0% citywide, putting Tower Lake 37.4% under its own city.
Average gross rent is $1,722, 51% below the Lake Barrington average of $3,501. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 5.9% of adults, 11.9 points below the national rate. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.
At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
