Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Winthrop Harbor
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.
Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally.
At $1,190 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Winthrop Harbor commands. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 11% 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 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $94,259, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
