Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Willow Lake

Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally. Against Stephenson County at 36.4%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened.

Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 2.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $91,434, annual rent is just 10%.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Average gross rent is $732, close to the Willow Lake average.
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.
