Analysis
What drives eviction risk in University Park
35% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10. Food insecurity runs 33.2% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.
Housing insecurity runs 26.6% against 14.2% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10.

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.
