Marshall Square Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Housing insecurity runs 33.4% against 14.2% nationally.

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 73% 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, local political climate reads 8.5/10. At $1,023 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 272 filings here across 15 tracked years.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2009 at 5.1% of renter households.
