Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Canaryville
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Average gross rent is $932, 35% below the Chicago average.
SNAP participation runs 32.9% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.
This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 331 filings here across 15 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2001, when 10.5% of renter households were served. 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.
In a typical year about 8.2% 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.
