Historic Palos is a one-tract neighborhood of Palos Park, IL, population 4,020. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Court records for this tract carry 50 eviction filings. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.9/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 15.9% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.6% of adults, 8.2 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 6.4% in 2015, is well off that peak.
At 2% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
