East Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Disability prevalence reaches 16.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filings are well documented here: 531 across 4 observed tracts.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The voucher gap is 14.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

33% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, marginally above the Chicago rate of 29.3%. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 3.9% of renter households. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #168 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Lakeshore East and Magnolia Glen score within a fraction of it.

With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
