Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wauconda

Average gross rent is $2,203, 61% above the Wauconda average. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 25.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Disability prevalence runs 18.7% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $150,774, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.

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.
