Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oakwood Shores
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.5% against 31.5% nationally.
The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 1,037 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2001, when 8.9% of renter households were served. 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 4.5% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #7,382 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
