Moreland Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Housing insecurity runs 43.0% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 32.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.3/10. Cost burden runs 59% here against 45.6% across Cook County. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $931 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,993 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 20.6% of renter households were served.

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 13.3% of renter households face a filing.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
