North Kenwood Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

SNAP participation runs 38.0% against 15.2% nationally. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Food insecurity runs 34.8% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Court records carry 800 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 8.8% 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. In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
