· range 7.1–8.1
Argyle Street spans 2 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 10,834 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
This is a renter market: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.
The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 7.1 to 8.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Average gross rent is $1,204, 16% below the Chicago average of $1,440. Filings are well documented here: 1,748 across 2 observed tracts.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 5.2% of renter households. SNAP participation is 23.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
