Wacławowo is a 5-tract neighborhood of Chicago, IL and houses 24,212 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Chicago baseline of 29.3%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 5.3 to 7.3. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 1,705 across 5 observed tracts. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 5.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #121 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Garden Homes and Lakeview East score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
