Northbrook Park Eviction Risk: Lower

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.9 points. The voucher gap is 67.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Cook County average of 45.6%.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.9/10.

Average gross rent is $2,955, 20% above the Northbrook average. SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 115 evictions over 14 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2009, when 4.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
