Jackowo Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 11,496 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.6/10 · range 6.3–7.1

Jackowo is a 3-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL and houses 11,496 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.6/10, Elevated tier. 65% 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 dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. 31% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,198 across 3 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households. On the softer side is economic stress, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2015, is well off that peak.

Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #106 by risk, the middle third. Its 3 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,481, close to the Chicago average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $84,394.

With little internal variation, 6.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
