O'Hare Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 7,762 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

O'Hare spans 2 census tracts of Park Ridge, IL and houses 7,762 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 51%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Park Ridge rate of 27.7%. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Court records carry 90 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. At $1,730 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Park Ridge commands.

The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 12.9% of renter households. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 3.0% in 2015, is well off that peak.

At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $151,842, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
