East Side Eviction Risk: Lower , Brookfield

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 3.1 points. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,406, 24% below the La Grange average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 15 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2008 at 6.9% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 1.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 8% of average household income of $207,179, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
