Sheffield Neighbors spans 3 census tracts of Chicago, IL and houses 10,988 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,386, 66% above the Chicago average of $1,440.
The voucher gap is 35.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.9/10. Cost burden runs 36% against 29.3% citywide, putting Sheffield Neighbors 6.4% over its own city.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 193 across 3 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 1.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #161 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
