Magnificent Mile Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

At $2,462 a month, rents run 71% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The voucher gap is 39.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Court records carry 426 eviction filings across 15 observed years. 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 3.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2005 at 4.0% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
