Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Morton Grove
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.9 points. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10.
The voucher gap is 24.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 52 filings here across 15 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 14.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 5.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
