Becks Park Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

SNAP participation runs 49.7% against 15.2% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $21,636, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Court records carry 694 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 14.3% 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.

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.
