Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Noble Square
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.6% against 31.5% nationally.
Cost burden runs 37% here against 45.6% across Cook County. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The voucher gap is 19.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 104 eviction filings across 15 observed years. SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally.
It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.
