· range 3.2–6.9
Mount Greenwood takes in 8 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 34,042 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Chicago rate of 29.3%.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.2 to 6.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filings are well documented here: 1,102 across 8 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 50.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #184 by risk, the lower third.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lakeshore East and Magnolia Glen. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,428, close to the Chicago average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
