East Village Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.2% against 31.5% nationally.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. At $1,706 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Chicago commands. Cost burden runs 41% here against 45.6% across Cook County.

The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 90 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 1.9% of renter households were served. 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.

In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
