Belmont Park is a 7-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL and houses 29,479 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Chicago rate of 29.3%.
23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10.
22.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Scores across the 7 constituent tracts range from 6.5 to 7.6. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Filings are well documented here: 1,753 across 7 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,228, 15% below the Chicago average of $1,440.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 6.0% of renter households. That places it #94 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.
Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
