Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Lawn
It sits 2.5 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 222 evictions over 15 years of observation. At $1,176 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Oak Lawn commands.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 5.4% of renter households. 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 4.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10. Against average income of $84,554, annual rent is just 17%.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.
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.
