What drives eviction risk in Waukegan
Food insecurity runs 33.4% against 17.8% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2.5/10.
Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. SNAP participation runs 25.6% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,363, 13% above the Waukegan average.
That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Waukegan eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $66,198.
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.
