What drives eviction risk in Chatham Fields
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. At $950 a month, rents run 34% under what the rest of Chicago commands.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $35,079, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
SNAP participation runs 25.9% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 966 filings here across 15 tracked years.
