Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Crawford
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Average gross rent is $967, 33% below the Chicago average. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
SNAP participation runs 26.4% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 153 evictions over 15 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2014 at 3.3% of renter households.
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 1.5% 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.
