Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hanson Park
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.5% against 11.3% nationally.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Housing insecurity runs 27.6% against 14.2% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.
Average gross rent is $1,210, 16% below the Chicago average. The filing record is not thin: 334 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.5% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 3.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
