Ravinia Eviction Risk: Lower , Highland Park

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against Lake County at 42.6%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

It sits 1.0 points below the Lake County average of 4.4. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 14.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 22% 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. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Highland Park rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10. Against average income of $158,500, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler.

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.
