Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Round Lake
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 42.6% across Lake County.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.
That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $130,536, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,781, close to the Round Lake average.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
