Morgan Park Eviction Risk: Moderate
3 census tracts · pop 7,791 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.3–6.3
Morgan Park takes in 3 census tracts of Chicago, IL, population 7,791. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,026, 29% below the Chicago average of $1,440.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.3 to 6.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Court records carry 364 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 12.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 4.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #149 by risk, the lower third. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
