Mid-North District takes in 3 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 11,278 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,004, 39% above the Chicago average of $1,440.
Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 578 across 3 observed tracts.
The voucher gap is 13.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 2.4% of renter households.
5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #144 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Theatre District and Old Edgebrook. Against average income of $126,251, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
With little internal variation, 5.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
