What drives eviction risk in Moreland
Cost burden runs 70% here against 45.6% across Cook County. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
Housing insecurity runs 37.3% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $35,568, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,143, 21% below the Chicago average.
Adults with no health insurance runs 20.4% against 11.3% nationally. Court records carry 276 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 13.5% 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 9.3% 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.
