Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kosciuszko Park
This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2/10.
The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 291 filings here across 15 tracked years.
At $1,646 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The worst year on record was 2001, when 4.3% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.9/10.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
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.
