Palos Park Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 71% here against 45.6% across Cook County. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 3.1 points.

At $2,185 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Palos Park commands. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10. The voucher gap is 24.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.4/10. Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 47 filings here across 13 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 7.0% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2003, when 2.5% 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 1.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
