Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Skevanston
It sits 2.5 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. At $1,906 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of Skokie commands.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 48 eviction filings across 14 observed years.
9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2010, when 3.9% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
