Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wrigleyville

At $2,276 a month, rents run 58% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.3/10. Disability prevalence runs 13.9% against 31.5% nationally.

The voucher gap is 29.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 4.0% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 20 evictions over 13 years of observation.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2001 at 0.6% 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 0.4% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
