Sauganash is a one-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL, population 7,046. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 29.3% citywide, putting Sauganash 21.8% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 97 evictions logged in this tract. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 10.6% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 6.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #168 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.
Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Bucktown and Lakeshore East.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
