What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.5 to 8.1, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.

At $1,311 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #71 by risk, the middle third.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
