Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kelvyn Park
Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Cook County average of 45.6%. It sits 1.6 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.2% against 11.3% nationally.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 27.0% against 17.8% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 266 filings here across 15 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,234, 14% below the Chicago average.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.0% 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 2.7% of renter households face a filing.
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.
