What drives eviction risk in Roscoe Village
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
The voucher gap is 18.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 8.9% against 17.8% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 264 filings here across 15 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 9.7% 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 5.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $169,917, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
