Analysis
What drives eviction risk in University Village
Cost burden runs 35% here against 45.6% across Cook County. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,099, 24% below the Chicago average.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 701 filings here across 15 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 23.2% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2011 at 7.5% of renter households.
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 7.0% of renter households face a filing.
