On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 490 evictions over 15 years of observation.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 7.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
