Schorsch Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 294 filings here across 15 tracked years. It sits 0.9 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.

Filings peaked in 2008 at 5.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.4/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $80,677, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
