Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Belmont Park
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.7% against 11.3% nationally.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
SNAP participation runs 24.5% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 204 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 2.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
