Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jackowo
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 377 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 3.8% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 2.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $93,589, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely. Average gross rent is $1,385, close to the Chicago average. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
