Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hanson Park

Filings peaked in 2011 at 5.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago.

That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
