Irondale Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 25.5% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,210 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

The filing record is not thin: 160 evictions over 15 years of observation. SNAP participation runs 23.1% against 15.2% nationally. Against Cook County at 45.6%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 4.7% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 3.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
