Greektown spans 2 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 11,155 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,476, 72% above the Chicago average of $1,440.
The voucher gap is 40.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.3 to 7.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
roughly one in three of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Disability prevalence reaches 16.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Court records carry 702 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 5.7% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2015, is well off that peak.
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.
