Bryn Mawr West Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10.

88% 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. At $974 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $36,310 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 25.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,541 filings here across 15 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 12.8% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
