Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Island Lake

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,526 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Island Lake commands.

Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 41% of renters.

It tracks the Lake County average of 4.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $100,083.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
