At $1,146 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 324 evictions over 15 years of observation. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
Filings peaked in 2003 at 3.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
