Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Greenwood
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,130, 22% below the Chicago average. The filing record is not thin: 74 evictions over 15 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2004, when 5.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #19,618 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $109,375, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
