Grand Crossing maps to a single census tract in Chicago, IL, population 1,895. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8.1/10, in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 43%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Chicago rate of 29.3%. Set annual rent against average household income of $24,101 and the ratio lands at 52%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
SNAP participation is 59.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 52.4% of adults, 34.6 points above the national rate.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. 78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Average gross rent is $1,035, 28% below the Chicago average of $1,440. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Court records for this tract carry 653 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 12.7% of renter households.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
