Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,400, 27% below the Lake Zurich average of $1,909. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate.
SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Lake Zurich, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Ancient Oaks and Bishops Ridge score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $118,250, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
