Ancient Oaks Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,066 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3.3–3.3

Ancient Oaks maps to a single census tract in Lake Zurich, IL and houses 6,066 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Lake Zurich rate of 26.4%.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. 17% 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.

Food insecurity affects 7.8% of adults, 10.0 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,791, 6% below the Lake Zurich average of $1,909.

That places it #2 of 5 neighborhoods in Lake Zurich. Against average income of $115,595, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
