West Haven Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

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. Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $36,681, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10.

It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Housing insecurity runs 31.4% against 14.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,214 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 413 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2010 at 14.0% of renter households.

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