Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Lawn
Cost burden runs 85% here against 45.6% across Cook County. At $2,188 a month, rents run 64% over what the rest of Oak Lawn commands.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.9 points. Set annual rent against average income of $81,942 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.1/10. The voucher gap is 24.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 138 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 3.7% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
