Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ukrainian Village
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.1% against 31.5% nationally.
16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,769 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Chicago commands.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 114 evictions over 15 years of observation.
SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
The worst year on record was 2003, when 2.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 1.4% of renter households face a filing.
