Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ellsworth
The dominant input is local political climate at 7.8/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.
Cost burden runs 40% here against 45.6% across Cook County. Court records carry 211 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 2.5% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
