Hemingway District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Oak Park

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,956, 23% above the Oak Park average. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Housing insecurity runs 5.1% against 14.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 30 filings here across 13 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 4.6% 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 1.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 58% 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 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $250,001, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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