Waukegan Eviction Risk: Moderate

Housing insecurity runs 32.2% against 14.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 29.2% against 11.3% nationally.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 42.6% across Lake County. Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.5/10. Running hot, economic stress reads 7.1/10.

Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,126, close to the Waukegan average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
