Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Franklin Park
It sits 2.1 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Cost burden runs 37% here against 45.6% across Cook County. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 193 evictions over 15 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.3% against 11.3% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.4% 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 2.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
