The Island Eviction Risk: Elevated , Cicero

Food insecurity runs 36.3% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Housing insecurity runs 29.0% against 14.2% nationally.

37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Cook County average of 45.6%. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 473 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.9% 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 3.7% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

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.
