Oakwood Shores Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Average gross rent is $525, 64% below the Chicago average. Housing insecurity runs 44.8% against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 66.7% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

97% 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. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,049 evictions over 15 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 14.0% 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 6.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
