What drives eviction risk in Wildwood
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 207 evictions over 15 years of observation. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.
Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.7% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2013, when 3.4% 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 1.9% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
