Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Elliott
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.6/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 43.0% across Lake County. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.6/10.
Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.
SNAP participation runs 5.0% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 15.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Food insecurity runs 10.5% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 10% 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.
Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
