Beach Station spans 2 census tracts of Waukegan, IL and houses 13,922 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. 27% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,441, 20% above the Waukegan average of $1,205.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
17.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $85,837. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
