Theatre District Eviction Risk: Moderate

Average gross rent is $2,462, 71% above the Chicago average of $1,440. The voucher gap is 39.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9/10. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Disability prevalence reaches 17.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. That places it #144 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago. For a like-for-like read, Old Edgebrook and Archer Limits score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $109,211.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
