Garfield Manor is a 3-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL, population 15,578. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.4/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Chicago rate of 29.3%.
31.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,047, 27% below the Chicago average of $1,440. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.9 to 8.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
SNAP participation is 27.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filings are well documented here: 895 across 3 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 7.6% of renter households. That places it #81 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.
Judgments average 0.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
