Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Side
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Average gross rent is $950, 33% below the Brookfield average. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.9 points.
Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
Court records carry 89 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 3.9% of renter households were served. 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 3.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $95,759, annual rent is just 12%.
