East Humboldt Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. 67% 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The severe-burden share is 12%, 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 1.1 points. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,692 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Chicago commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 529 filings here across 15 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 5.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

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