What drives eviction risk in West Harvey
The poverty rate is 51%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 61% here against 45.6% across Cook County.
Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $19,522, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
It sits 1.9 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.
Disability prevalence runs 47.5% against 31.5% nationally. At $699 a month, rents run 27% under what the rest of Harvey commands.
Adults with no health insurance runs 22.3% against 11.3% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 418 filings here across 15 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2005, when 12.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 7.0% of renter households face a filing.
