Sheridan Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 6,119 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.5/10 · range 6.5–6.5

Sheridan Park maps to a single census tract in Chicago, IL and houses 6,119 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.5/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 39% against 29.3% citywide, putting Sheridan Park 9.3% over its own city.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Disability prevalence reaches 18.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

Court records for this tract carry 1,324 eviction filings. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.

At $1,249 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 5.1% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #110 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
