Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wauconda
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Against Lake County at 42.6%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened.
It sits 1.4 points below the Lake County average of 4.4. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 2% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
