Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Maplewood
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Running cool, economic stress reads 2.2/10. Court records carry 82 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,585, 10% above the Chicago average.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 3.4% of renter households. 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 2.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #17,132 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely.
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.
