What drives eviction risk in Becks Park
SNAP participation runs 49.7% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 36.7% against 14.2% nationally. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9/10.
The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $37,000, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.
Average gross rent is $1,173, 19% below the Chicago average. Court records carry 737 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 10.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
