Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Englewood
The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.3/10.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $1,112, 23% below the Chicago average.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records carry 930 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 22.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 14.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,382 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
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.
