Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Belmont Park
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. At $1,135 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.
Adults with no health insurance runs 21.9% against 11.3% nationally. Court records carry 311 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 25.5% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when 4.7% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
