Ravenswood Manor Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 236 evictions over 15 years of observation. At $1,619 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Chicago commands. Filings peaked in 2007 at 3.8% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 1.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
