Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Park Southeast
Housing insecurity runs 32.3% against 14.2% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $42,418 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Disability prevalence runs 49.2% against 31.5% nationally.
The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Running hot, economic stress reads 8.3/10. Cost burden runs 51% here against 43.0% across Jackson County.
Against the Jackson County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Court records carry 429 eviction filings across 14 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 20.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 12.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
