Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Greenwood
At $2,200 a month, rents run 53% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10.
The voucher gap is 24.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 28 filings here across 12 tracked years. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Food insecurity runs 10.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 50.0% of renter households. 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.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
