Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Roscoe Village
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Disability prevalence runs 17.2% against 31.5% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 41 filings here across 13 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,656, 15% above the Chicago average.
It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. Filings peaked in 2001 at 2.0% 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 0.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
