Englewood Eviction Risk: High

Food insecurity affects 50.8% of adults, 33.0 points above the national rate. Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Set annual rent against average household income of $42,639 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.

Court records for this tract carry 406 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 10.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.7% in 2015 against a 10.8% peak.

That places it #1 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,486, close to the Chicago average.

One tract means one number: 8.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
