Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Skevanston
83% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Cook County average of 45.6%. It sits 1.9 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.
What pushes it up most is regional political climate at 7.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.7/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 125 filings here across 15 tracked years.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.7% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 3.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
