Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Norwood Park
Cost burden runs 100% here against 45.6% across Cook County. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The filing record is not thin: 18 evictions over 10 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 7.7% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 4.7% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 2% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
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.
