East Hyde Park Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Cook County average of 45.6%. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 235 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.5% of renter households were served.

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 2.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 3.0 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
