Marshall Square Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

Housing insecurity runs 39.9% against 14.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 40.5% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 46%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 59% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $31,161 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

This is renter territory: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,101, 24% below the Chicago average. The filing record is not thin: 259 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 4.2% 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.

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