Marquette Manor Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $39,913, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

70% 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. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,149, 20% below the Chicago average.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.9% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,998 filings here across 15 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 14.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
