Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Magnolia Glen
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
At $1,735 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Chicago commands. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 411 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2003 at 2.2% of renter households.
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. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
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.
