Ranch Triangle takes in 2 census tracts of Chicago, IL, population 7,074. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. At $2,552 a month, rents sit 77% over what the rest of Chicago commands.
The voucher gap is 44.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 20% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 15.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Filings are well documented here: 271 across 2 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 4.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #168 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lakeshore East and Bucktown.
With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
