Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Village
At $2,182 a month, rents run 52% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
The voucher gap is 23.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Food insecurity runs 7.9% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 120 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2001 at 1.4% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
