Chester Highlands Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

Average gross rent is $919, 36% below the Chicago average. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.8/10.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Housing insecurity runs 30.8% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 439 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2004, when 15.1% 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 8.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
