Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Five Points

Severe burden reaches 35%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 99% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $44,989, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Lake County average of 42.6%.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,736, 22% above the North Chicago average. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.6/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 6.9/10. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
