Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Philip Murray Homes
At $582 a month, rents run 60% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Food insecurity runs 58.7% against 17.8% nationally.
The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 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 nearby. Well under the midpoint, 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. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Disability prevalence runs 44.2% against 31.5% nationally. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,253 filings here across 15 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 11.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 9.1% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
