Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West Harvey
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Average gross rent is $634, 34% below the Harvey average.
The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.8/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The filing record is not thin: 808 evictions over 15 years of observation. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Cook County average of 45.6%.
Filings peaked in 2001 at 10.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 8.0% of renter households face a filing.
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.
