Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lakeview East
This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 18.7% against 31.5% nationally.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 484 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Cost burden runs roughly one in two here against 45.6% across Cook County. SNAP participation runs 7.9% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2004, when 5.6% of renter households were served.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
