Jarvis Square Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

Food insecurity runs 34.6% against 17.8% nationally. 73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Set annual rent against average income of $49,639 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,774 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 8.2% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 7.4% of renter households face a filing.
