Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Ukrainian Village

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Disability prevalence runs 17.5% against 31.5% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Cook County average of 45.6%. The filing record is not thin: 97 evictions over 15 years of observation.

SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2006, when 1.0% 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 0.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.7/10.
