Lakewood-Balmoral Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filings are well documented here: 1,031 across 3 observed tracts.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,244, 14% below the Chicago average of $1,440. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 9.3% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 3.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #48 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Irondale and South Englewood. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
