What drives eviction risk in Pacific Junction
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. At $1,762 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Chicago commands.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 883 filings here across 15 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 6.9% of renter households were served. 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.
In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
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.
