Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gurnee

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.3 points below the Lake County average of 4.4. 49% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Lake County average of 42.6%.

SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,877, 13% above the Gurnee average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.3/10. Against average income of $134,833, annual rent is just 17%.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
