Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Maplewood
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Disability prevalence runs 19.5% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,683, 17% above the Chicago average. The filing record is not thin: 273 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2001 at 2.5% 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 1.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
