Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Clearing
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 66% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 81 evictions over 15 years of observation. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 5.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
