Canaryville Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Set annual rent against average income of $44,399 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 25.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 7.8/10. Cost burden runs 52% here against 45.6% across Cook County.

Court records carry 633 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 12.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

In a typical year about 11.1% of renter households face a filing.

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