Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Side
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 3.1 points. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. At $1,105 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Brookfield commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 130 filings here across 15 tracked years.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 7.7% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2013 at 2.8% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 2.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
