Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pacific Junction
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 30.5% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 1.6 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 137 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 10.3% 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.
In a typical year about 4.2% of renter households face a filing.
