Moreland Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Against Cook County at 45.6%, roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened. SNAP participation runs 41.1% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 32.6% against 14.2% nationally.

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

At $1,164 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The filing record is not thin: 1,808 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 18.7% of renter households. 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 13.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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