Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Skokie
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points. The clearest offset is economic stress at 2.1/10.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 360 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.9/10. At $1,390 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Skokie commands. Filings peaked in 2010 at 4.1% of renter households.
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 2.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
