HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)
This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Brighton
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.8/10. The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Average gross rent is $913, 37% below the Chicago average. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Housing insecurity runs 33.2% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The filing record is not thin: 532 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 5.2% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
