Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Englewood
Food insecurity runs 39.1% against 17.8% nationally. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.2/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $1,086, 25% below the Chicago average.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Cost burden runs 38% here against 45.6% across Cook County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,124 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 11.9% of renter households.
