Deerpath Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,439 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Deerpath maps to a single census tract in Lake Forest, IL and houses 4,439 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 27.7% citywide, putting Deerpath 12.8% over its own city.

31% 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. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. 3.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Lake Forest. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Everett and Skokie Manor.

Against average income of $206,500, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,911, close to the Lake Forest average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
