Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hazel Green
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 34% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 7.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.5/10. Court records carry 380 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 5.9% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 3.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
