Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Schorsch Forest View
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.
Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 143 filings here across 15 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,407, 14% above the Harwood Heights average. The worst year on record was 2010, when 7.1% of renter households were served.
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 3.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
