Ranch Triangle Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,798 a month, rents run 94% over what the rest of Chicago commands.

The voucher gap is 58.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 6.9% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 176 evictions over 15 years of observation.

It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 4.7% 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 2.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
