Rosemoor Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 8,402 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.6/10 · range 6.9–8.1

Rosemoor is a 2-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL and houses 8,402 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 29.3% citywide, putting Rosemoor 18.7% over its own city.

32% 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 clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. At $1,014 a month, rents sit 30% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 17.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 6.9 to 8.1. A 1.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records carry 997 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 9.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 5.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #66 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
