Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jarvis Square
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 45.6% across Cook County.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Court records carry 1,879 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
SNAP participation runs 23.6% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,252 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Chicago commands.
The worst year on record was 2001, when 10.2% of renter households were served. 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.
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.
