Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kilbourn Park
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,209, 16% below the Chicago average.
The filing record is not thin: 392 evictions over 15 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.7% against 11.3% nationally.
It sits 0.7 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Filings peaked in 2003 at 4.5% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #13,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.
