Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edgewater Beach
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
68% 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. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Average gross rent is $1,209, 16% below the Chicago average. The filing record is not thin: 1,010 evictions over 15 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2001, when 8.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
