Philip Murray Homes is a one-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL and houses 3,357 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8.1/10, placing it in the High tier. 35.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Average gross rent is $582, 60% below the Chicago average of $1,440. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 53%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 66.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Chicago rate of 29.3%.
85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,253 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 11.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 4.2% in 2015, is well off that peak.
One tract means one number: 8.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
