Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southport Corridor
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,827, 27% above the Chicago average.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 87 evictions over 15 years of observation. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. The worst year on record was 2004, when 1.1% 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 0.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
