Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beach Station

It tracks the Lake County average of 4.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $90,686.

43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
