Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Edgebrook
Cost burden runs 64% here against 45.6% across Cook County. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 2.2/10.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 65 evictions over 14 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2007, when 3.5% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
