Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hazel Green
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.9 points. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,561, 17% above the Oak Lawn average.
The filing record is not thin: 45 evictions over 15 years of observation. SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2009 at 9.0% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 3.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 7% 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 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
