Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oakwood Shores

At $498 a month, rents run 65% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Food insecurity runs 42.5% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 82% 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.

Against Cook County at 45.6%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Housing insecurity runs 29.8% against 14.2% nationally.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 513 evictions over 15 years of observation.

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