Archer Limits Eviction Risk: Moderate

8 census tracts · pop 21,507 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.8/10 · range 3–7.3

Archer Limits takes in 8 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 21,507 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 7.3, a 4.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $983 a month, rents sit 32% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.

Court records carry 870 eviction filings across its 8 observed tracts. 20.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.1/10.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 33.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #144 by risk, the lower third.

At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
