Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Round Lake

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2/10.

At $1,238 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Round Lake commands. It sits 1.5 points above the Lake County average of 4.4.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. Food insecurity runs 29.7% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 23.6% against 14.2% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
