It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Set annual rent against average income of $39,133 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,128 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

SNAP participation runs 25.6% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,617 filings here across 15 tracked years.

Food insecurity runs 25.8% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2006, when 15.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

In a typical year about 10.7% of renter households face a filing.
