West Loop Gate Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 6,749 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3
West Loop Gate maps to a single census tract in Chicago, IL and houses 6,749 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,178, 51% above the Chicago average of $1,440.
71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. The voucher gap is 23.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10. 32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The filing record is not thin: 554 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Food insecurity affects 7.8% of adults, 10.0 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 3.8% of renter households. 4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
