Analysis
What drives eviction risk in O'Keeffe
SNAP participation runs 52.8% against 15.2% nationally. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Housing insecurity runs 37.0% against 14.2% nationally. 84% 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. Set annual rent against average income of $37,917 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10.
Court records carry 2,238 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
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.
