Wrigleyville Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 10,222 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.3–5.9

Wrigleyville spans 5 census tracts of Chicago, IL, population 10,222. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,248, 56% above the Chicago average of $1,440.

The voucher gap is 27.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is supply constraint at 7.8/10.

Filings are well documented here: 424 across 5 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 4.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 4.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2015, is well off that peak.

That places it #161 of 187 neighborhoods in Chicago. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
