Edison Park Eviction Risk: Lower , Chicago

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. At $3,122 a month, rents run 103% over what the rest of Park Ridge commands.

The voucher gap is 77.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

SNAP participation runs 3.8% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 34 evictions over 14 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 5.0% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 2.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

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.
