Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Crawford
Food insecurity runs 48.6% against 17.8% nationally. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.
65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. At $1,140 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Chicago commands.
The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 239 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2010 at 5.3% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 3.4% of renter households face a filing.
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.
