Historical context · 1930s redlining
HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)
This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pulaski Park
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.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The voucher gap is 17.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 143 evictions over 15 years of observation.
SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2004, when 1.6% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 0.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
