Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hazel Green
Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.5/10.
On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 257 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 6.8% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 4.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
