Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Park West
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.7/10.
Disability prevalence runs 16.3% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,821, 26% above the Chicago average. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 169 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2004 at 1.1% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
