Lakeview East Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 68% 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.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.8/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Court records carry 532 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Housing insecurity runs 7.0% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2003, when 2.1% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
