Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mid-North District
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. At $1,890 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Chicago commands.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.0% against 31.5% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally.
Court records carry 348 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2004, when 1.7% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 1.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
