Bryn Mawr West Eviction Risk: Elevated

SNAP participation is 38.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 20.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,068 a month, rents sit 26% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 4,657 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 15.3% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 10.9% in 2015 against a 15.3% peak.

With little internal variation, 7.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
