Edgewater Beach Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points. 72% 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 high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 980 filings here across 15 tracked years.

At $1,228 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Filings peaked in 2013 at 7.4% of renter households. 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.9 points hotter.
