Waukegan Eviction Risk: Moderate

30% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Lake County average of 42.6%. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10.

Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 16% 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 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $88,171, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Poverty sits at 3%, 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. Average gross rent is $1,208, close to the Waukegan average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
