Filings peaked in 2012 at 4.0% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago.

That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
