Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jackowo
This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.
The filing record is not thin: 681 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 4.9% of renter households were served. 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. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.4/10.
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.
