The Bush Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

SNAP participation runs 44.5% against 15.2% nationally. At $878 a month, rents run 39% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

Housing insecurity runs 35.3% against 14.2% nationally. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.1/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $29,246, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

Cost burden runs 56% here against 45.6% across Cook County. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 624 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 13.3% of renter households. 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.

In a typical year about 7.7% of renter households face a filing.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
