Church and Dodge Eviction Risk: Elevated , Evanston

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,376, 22% below the Evanston average.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 26.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 638 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2002 at 6.9% of renter households.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 5.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #8,653 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.8 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
