Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lockport

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,856 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Lockport commands.

Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Will County average of 4.2. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $119,338.

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