Marquette Manor Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. At $927 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Food insecurity runs 35.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 485 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 8.6% 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.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
