Skokie Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 35% here against 45.6% across Cook County.

The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.4/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

At $1,872 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Skokie commands. The filing record is not thin: 112 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when 8.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
