The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

Disability prevalence runs 18.8% against 31.5% nationally. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.4/10.

11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 136 eviction filings across 15 observed years.

SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 12.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.

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 1.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
