Lake Corner Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,197 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Lake Corner is a one-tract neighborhood of Wauconda, IL and houses 3,197 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Wauconda rate of 22.0%.

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,249, 9% below the Wauconda average of $1,371. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $56,394.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
