Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ravenswood Manor

The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 400 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2003, when 2.1% 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 1.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $100,250, annual rent is just 17%.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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