New Auburn Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

26% 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 $52,125 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 8.8/10.

The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

Average gross rent is $1,725, 20% above the Chicago average. Court records carry 171 eviction filings across 15 observed years.

Against Cook County at 45.6%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
