West Lawn Eviction Risk: Elevated

The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 27.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Court records carry 389 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 10.8% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10.

Among the 187 mapped neighborhoods of Chicago, it ranks #48 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 0.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Irondale and South Englewood score within a fraction of it.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
