Pacific Junction Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. 75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Average gross rent is $1,816, 26% above the Chicago average. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 369 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 7.3% of renter households.

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 3.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #15,451 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
