Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Park Ridge

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 3.1 points. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 4.5% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,821, 18% above the Park Ridge average.

The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 71 filings here across 14 tracked years.

Housing insecurity runs 5.9% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
