Schorsch Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Court records carry 94 eviction filings across 15 observed years.

At $1,257 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The worst year on record was 2012, when 3.7% of renter households were served. 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 2.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $90,625, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
