North Kenwood Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Against Cook County at 45.6%, 65% of renters here are cost-burdened. Annualized rent equals 59% of average household income of $19,645, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. SNAP participation runs 50.7% against 15.2% nationally.

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.4/10. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. At $963 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 26.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 703 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 9.7% of renter households were served.

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.
