Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Park West
Disability prevalence runs 15.0% against 31.5% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Cook County average of 45.6%.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 4.2% against 15.2% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 260 filings here across 15 tracked years. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2003, when 2.9% 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 1.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
