The Orchards is a one-tract neighborhood of Lake Zurich, IL, population 5,318. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 26.4% citywide, putting The Orchards 23.6% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Food insecurity affects 4.7% of adults, 13.1 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 3.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Lake Zurich. At 5% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Bishops Ridge and Ravens Wing score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
