Edison Park Eviction Risk: Moderate
5 census tracts · pop 20,531 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 3–5.5
Edison Park is a 5-tract suburb of Chicago, IL, population 20,531. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 29.3% citywide, putting Edison Park 14.8% over its own city.
At $2,011 a month, rents sit 40% over what the rest of Chicago commands. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 18%. 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: 261 across 5 observed tracts.
The voucher gap is 14.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 5.0% of renter households.
5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #186 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
