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 Sheffield Neighbors
What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,035, 111% above the Chicago average. The voucher gap is 72.4%: 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. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 52 evictions over 14 years of observation.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 1.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 0.6% of renter households face a filing.
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.
