Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Round Lake

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,504, 12% below the Round Lake average. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 24% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $101,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Lake County average of 4.4 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
