Central Park Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Housing insecurity runs 42.2% against 14.2% nationally. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Cook County average of 45.6%.

Set annual rent against average income of $42,875 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10.

It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 558 evictions over 15 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.8% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2004, when 7.7% 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 7.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,382 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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