Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Schorsch
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Average gross rent is $994, 31% below the Chicago average.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 216 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.5% 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 #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 24% 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 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $82,790, annual rent is just 14%.
