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 Vet's Park

At $409 a month, rents run 72% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

91% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Disability prevalence runs 51.6% against 31.5% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $14,311, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Housing insecurity runs 30.3% against 14.2% nationally.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 298 evictions over 15 years of observation.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
