Park West Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 14.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10. 68% 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, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 6.2% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,727 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Chicago commands.

The filing record is not thin: 426 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2004, when 3.2% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 1.7% of renter households face a filing.

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.
