Schorsch is a 8-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL, population 34,654. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Chicago rate of 29.3%.
Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 5.2 to 8.1. A 2.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. 17% 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.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,209 across 8 observed tracts.
Average gross rent is $1,235, 14% below the Chicago average of $1,440. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 5.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #128 by risk, the lower third. Only 24% 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 Lakewood Balmoral Historic District and West Edgewater. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
