What drives eviction risk in Skokie
What pushes it up most is regional political climate at 7.5/10. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Cook County average of 45.6%.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.8/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 163 filings here across 13 tracked years.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. At $1,768 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Skokie commands.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.0% 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 2.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $74,036. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
