Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hollywood

Cost burden runs 66% here against 43.0% across Lake County. Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1.9/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.

At $1,230 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Munster commands. Against the Lake County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Lake Co. Gary. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Munster eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $72,361.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
