Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gano
SNAP participation runs 41.5% against 15.2% nationally. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $39,579 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Housing insecurity runs 31.1% against 14.2% nationally.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,000 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 11.3% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 8.8% of renter households face a filing.
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.
