Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Montrose
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
At $1,670 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The filing record is not thin: 140 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2011 at 3.6% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
