Waukegan Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 31.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 33.2% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 7.7/10.

Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. 12% 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, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10.

At $1,008 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Waukegan commands. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 10/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $45,444. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
