Kilbourn Park takes in 4 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 13,520 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Chicago rate of 29.3%.
The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.4 to 7.9, a 2.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. 21% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Court records carry 1,114 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 8.0% of renter households. At $1,304 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Chicago commands.
The most recent observed rate, 3.0% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #94 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Hanson Park and Glendale. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $77,779.
53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
