Sylvan Lake maps to a single census tract in Mundelein, IL, population 5,458. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 19% against 27.8% citywide, putting Sylvan Lake 8.5% under its own city. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. At $1,179 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Mundelein commands.
Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Diamond Lake and The Townes at Oak Creek score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $126,287, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
