South Edgebrook is a one-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL, population 4,573. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 78 evictions logged in this tract. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 4.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #168 by risk, the lower third. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $155,481, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
