Argyle Street Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

82% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.9/10.

It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $1,029, 29% below the Chicago average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 24.5% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,397 filings here across 15 tracked years.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
