Galewood Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.9/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 352 filings here across 15 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 4.5% of renter households were served. 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 2.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely. Average gross rent is $1,279, close to the Elmwood Park average.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $56,292.

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.
