Streeterville is a 3-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL, population 17,172. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,134, 48% above the Chicago average of $1,440.
Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The voucher gap is 21.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,356 across 3 observed tracts. Disability prevalence reaches 18.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Food insecurity affects 7.1% of adults, 10.7 points below the national rate. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #149 by risk, the lower third.
Its 3 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $112,300.
With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
