Marynook takes in 2 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 4,377 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
35% 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. SNAP participation is 36.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. 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 two streets over. Average gross rent is $1,020, 29% below the Chicago average of $1,440.
The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running hot is economic stress at 7.6/10.
Filings are well documented here: 2,083 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 12.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #38 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Park Manor and Brookdale.
With little internal variation, 8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
