Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Skokie
55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Cook County average of 45.6%. What pushes it up most is regional political climate at 7.5/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 391 evictions over 15 years of observation. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. At $1,370 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Skokie commands.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 3.8% 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 2.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $56,599.
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.
