Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hanson Park
79% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Cook County average of 45.6%. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.3/10.
SNAP participation runs 34.2% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 27.4% against 14.2% nationally.
It sits 1.4 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. At $1,117 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Chicago commands.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 489 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2004, when 13.3% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
