Glendale is a 4-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL and houses 16,746 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Chicago rate of 29.3%.
30.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. 25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 5.8 to 8.1. A 2.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
Court records carry 803 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,242, 14% below the Chicago average of $1,440. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 8.1% of renter households.
Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #94 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 0.8% 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 7.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
