Indian Village takes in 5 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 13,162 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.8/10, Elevated tier. Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
31% 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. 66% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 2,705 across 5 observed tracts.
At $1,623 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 11.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #48 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Irondale and South Englewood.
Its 5 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 7.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
