Mandell Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

SNAP participation runs 39.3% against 15.2% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10.

40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Cook County average of 45.6%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 352 filings here across 15 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 7.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

In a typical year about 4.1% of renter households face a filing.

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