What drives eviction risk in Little India
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 35.6% against 17.8% nationally.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $46,458, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 69% 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.
Running hot, economic stress reads 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Housing insecurity runs 24.6% against 14.2% nationally. Court records carry 724 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 5.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.
