East Hyde Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Scores across the 10 constituent tracts range from 5.4 to 8.1. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.

Court records carry 4,092 eviction filings across its 10 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 11.6% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 3.1% in 2015, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,527, 6% above the Chicago average of $1,440.

That places it #71 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cottage Grove Heights and Roosevelt Square. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $66,821.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
