Richton Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.

74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

Food insecurity runs 28.2% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 24.3% against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.5/10.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,443 filings here across 15 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 14.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 8.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 7.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
