Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ravenswood Manor

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

Court records carry 257 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 3.9% 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 2.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters.

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.
