Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Park Arts District
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.
Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,313, 18% below the Oak Park average. Court records carry 380 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 5.2% of renter households were served. 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. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
