Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lake Forest

Cost burden runs 73% here against 42.6% across Lake County. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. At $3,501 a month, rents run 93% over what the rest of Lake Forest commands.

The voucher gap is 98.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Lake County average of 4.4.

Food insecurity runs 6.4% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.3% against 14.2% nationally.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
