Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Glenwood Arts District

The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. It sits 1.8 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 45.6% across Cook County.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 873 evictions over 15 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2013 at 9.0% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,311, 9% below the Chicago average.

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 3.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #8,653 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
