The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 7.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 69 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 1.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
