Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Crawford

Average gross rent is $962, 33% below the Chicago average. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Housing insecurity runs 28.0% against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. SNAP participation runs 24.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 176 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 2.5% of renter households were served.

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 2.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #10,727 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
