Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edgewater Glen
roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Cook County average of 45.6%. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 310 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2001, when 2.8% 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 1.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
