Southport Corridor Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10.

Disability prevalence runs 15.7% against 31.5% nationally. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs 36% here against 45.6% across Cook County. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 5.5% against 15.2% nationally.

The voucher gap is 15.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 37 eviction filings across 14 observed years. It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 0.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 0.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
