What drives eviction risk in South Branch Addition
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Cook County average of 45.6%.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running hot, economic stress reads 8.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 134 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2001 at 3.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 1.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,382 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
