Waukegan Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 59% here against 42.6% across Lake County. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.5/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.7/10.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $95,652, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Lake County average of 4.4 closely.

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.
