Washington Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 27.2% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. It sits 1.2 points above the St. Clair County average of 4.5. Running cool, supply constraint reads 3.1/10.

Average gross rent is $979, 13% above the Washington Park average. 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.

Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $43,036. 27% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
