Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 2.5/10. Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 19% 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. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Waukegan eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $101,719.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
