South Lynn Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.9/10. Housing insecurity runs 40.3% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

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.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 448 evictions over 15 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2001 at 12.7% of renter households.

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 7.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9/10 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.
