Gladstone Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 28,802 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.8/10 · range 5.3–6.7

Gladstone Park is a 6-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL, population 28,802. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Chicago rate of 29.3%.

Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10.

The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.3 to 6.7, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 768 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 13.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2015, is well off that peak.

At $1,527 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Chicago commands. That places it #144 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.

Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Theatre District and Old Edgebrook score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $103,937, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
