Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Corwith
Food insecurity runs 36.5% against 17.8% nationally. At $964 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Chicago commands.
It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 26.0% against 11.3% nationally.
The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 273 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 3.6% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 2.7% of renter households face a filing.
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.
