Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Western Dunning
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 34 eviction filings across 12 observed years.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. Filings peaked in 2013 at 3.0% 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 1.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 11% 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 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters. Average gross rent is $1,445, close to the Chicago average.
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.
