Park Manor Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

At $765 a month, rents run 47% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 32.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Set annual rent against average income of $22,432 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 79% 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. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 44.2% against 31.5% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 904 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 7.3% of renter households were served.

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.
