Central Park Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The dominant input is economic stress at 9/10. Housing insecurity runs 34.3% against 14.2% nationally.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $21,875, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Disability prevalence runs 43.8% against 31.5% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 616 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2001, when 11.0% of renter households were served.

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