Edison Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Cook County average of 45.6%.

Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 15 evictions over 10 years of observation.

SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,272 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 3.7% of renter households. 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 1.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $117,768, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
