Park West Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

At $2,352 a month, rents run 63% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The voucher gap is 33.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10.

Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.4/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 45.6% across Cook County. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

Food insecurity runs 5.8% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 37 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2010, when 1.8% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 0.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
