Magnolia Glen Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 6,344 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3

Magnolia Glen is a one-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL and houses 6,344 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. At $1,735 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Chicago commands.

Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records for this tract carry 411 eviction filings.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. 26% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, slightly below the Chicago rate of 29.3%. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 2.2% of renter households.

SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate.

The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #168 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago. For a like-for-like read, Lakeshore East and Bucktown score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
