North Pullman Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 1,831 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.1/10 · range 8.1–8.1

North Pullman maps to a single census tract in Chicago, IL and houses 1,831 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.1/10, placing it in the High tier. Cost burden runs roughly two in three against 29.3% citywide, putting North Pullman 40.2% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 33.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 41.7% of adults, 23.9 points above the national rate. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,160, 19% below the Chicago average of $1,440. The filing record is not thin: 453 evictions logged in this tract.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 8.2% of renter households.

Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

One tract means one number: 8.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
