Oakwood Shores Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

SNAP participation runs 54.0% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 46%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

93% 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. Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $28,456, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $943 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Against Cook County at 45.6%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 706 filings here across 15 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 18.2% of renter households were served.

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