Margate Park Eviction Risk: Elevated
2 census tracts · pop 9,441 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 7–8
Margate Park spans 2 census tracts of Chicago, IL, population 9,441. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 29.3% citywide, putting Margate Park 19.9% over its own city.
31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7 to 8, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 1,395 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 2.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #57 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,374, close to the Chicago average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $61,454.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
