What drives eviction risk in Becks Park
Average gross rent is $634, 56% below the Chicago average. SNAP participation runs 54.0% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 38.2% against 14.2% nationally.
What pushes it up most 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. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $20,086, 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.
74% 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. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
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.
