Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Lawn
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 7.8/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
It sits 1.1 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 74 evictions over 15 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 9.4% 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. In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
