Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Pleasant
The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Cost burden runs 39% here against 45.6% across Cook County.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.
Court records carry 164 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Food insecurity runs 26.1% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 2.9% of renter households. 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.1/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
