Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Schorsch
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.
Average gross rent is $1,219, 15% below the Chicago average. Court records carry 172 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 3.4% of renter households. 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 2.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10.
Against average income of $95,328, annual rent is just 15%. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
