Stony Island Park Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Average gross rent is $931, 35% below the Chicago average. 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 severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

SNAP participation runs 24.6% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 1,018 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 21.2% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2001, when 9.8% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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