Diamond Lake maps to a single census tract in Mundelein, IL and houses 5,439 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,180, 25% below the Mundelein average of $1,566. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
15% 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. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, The Townes at Oak Creek and Sylvan Lake score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
