Avalon Highlands Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Housing insecurity runs 42.1% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 54.2% against 17.8% nationally.

62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Cook County average of 45.6%. This is renter territory: 97% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Set annual rent against average income of $28,326 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is economic stress at 9/10.

The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

At $1,023 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 2,976 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 18.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
