Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West DePaul
Average gross rent is $2,408, 67% above the Chicago average. The voucher gap is 36.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10.
On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.7/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 107 evictions over 15 years of observation. It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2002 at 3.2% of renter households.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
