Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Park West
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. It sits 1.7 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records carry 277 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Food insecurity runs 10.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 3.0% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
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.
