· range 6.1–8.1
Corwith spans 6 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 20,314 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.4/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 27.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Average gross rent is $1,033, 28% below the Chicago average of $1,440. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.1 to 8.1, a 2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Court records carry 1,058 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 6.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #81 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $58,894. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
