Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kelvyn Park

Filings peaked in 2015 at 5.5% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 3.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter.
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.
