Douglass Park Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

86% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Cook County average of 45.6%. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.9/10. Housing insecurity runs 32.0% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

At $1,030 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Chicago commands. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Court records carry 272 eviction filings across 15 observed years. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Filings peaked in 2003 at 8.6% of renter households.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
