These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

What drives eviction risk in South Lynn
The dominant input is economic stress at 9.4/10. Food insecurity runs 40.3% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $30,542 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. At $972 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Chicago commands.
It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. 21% 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, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 237 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2001, when 10.4% 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.
