Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Townes at Barclay
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. 67% 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. The voucher gap is 26.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $2,218, 20% above the Riverwoods average.
On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.6/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
