Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Trumbull Park Homes

At $557 a month, rents run 61% under what the rest of Chicago commands. SNAP participation runs 52.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 51.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Cost burden runs 37% here against 45.6% across Cook County.

Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 486 evictions over 15 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2010 at 11.1% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous").

In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,382 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
