Pacific Junction Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Food insecurity runs 40.9% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $886, 38% below the Chicago average. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Cook County average of 45.6%. SNAP participation runs 34.7% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

74% 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. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 258 evictions over 15 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2010 at 5.0% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

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.
