Roosevelt Square Eviction Risk: Elevated

73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.8 to 8.1, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 1,194 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 4.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #71 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.

For a like-for-like read, Cottage Grove Heights and Crawford score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,467, close to the Chicago average.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
