Financial District Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 8,227 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3
Financial District is a one-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL and houses 8,227 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. At $2,534 a month, rents sit 76% over what the rest of Chicago commands.
The voucher gap is 43.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9.4/10.
This is a renter market: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 1,102 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 9.5% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 5.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #168 by risk, the lower third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
