Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Park Ridge
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 29% of renters here are cost-burdened. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 85 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Housing insecurity runs 6.4% against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2005, when 6.3% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.9/10.
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.
