Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Placerdale
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 59% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10.
Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $68,615, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $1,839 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Chicago commands.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
It sits 1.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Court records carry 516 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 6.9% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 5.3% 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.
