Kosciuszko Park takes in 4 census tracts of Chicago, IL, population 11,768. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 38% against 29.3% citywide, putting Kosciuszko Park 8.2% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.3 to 7.1, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,168 across 4 observed tracts.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 5.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #106 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago. Average gross rent runs $1,509, close to the Chicago average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $86,278.
64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
