Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Summit
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Adults with no health insurance runs 27.9% against 11.3% nationally. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10.
At $899 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Summit commands. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. SNAP participation runs 26.5% against 15.2% nationally.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. The filing record is not thin: 475 evictions over 15 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 6.3% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 4.1% of renter households face a filing.
