Clarendon Park takes in 2 census tracts of Chicago, IL, population 9,262. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.1/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 29.3% citywide, putting Clarendon Park 20.4% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 43%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 86% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
SNAP participation is 32.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Food insecurity affects 31.1% of adults, 13.3 points above the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,179, 18% below the Chicago average of $1,440.
Filings are well documented here: 1,912 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 6.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
