Roscoe Village Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

At $2,117 a month, rents run 47% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The voucher gap is 20.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity runs 6.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 33 filings here across 12 tracked years.

It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. The worst year on record was 2001, when 1.3% 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.

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.
