Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wildwood
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 317 filings here across 15 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2007, when 56.3% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 33.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 2% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
