Brynford Park spans 2 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 9,463 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.3 to 7.3, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 298 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 3.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #94 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Kilbourn Park and Hanson Park score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,443, close to the Chicago average.
51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
