Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Village
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 15.0% against 31.5% nationally.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 37% here against 45.6% across Cook County.
The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The voucher gap is 17.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 152 filings here across 15 tracked years. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
The worst year on record was 2001, when 1.9% 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.
