Fulton Market District Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,677 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3

Fulton Market District maps to a single census tract in Chicago, IL and houses 4,677 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,956, 105% above the Chicago average of $1,440.

What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 67.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

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. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 14.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 31% of renter households.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Court records for this tract carry 399 eviction filings. Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate.

The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 11.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.2% 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
