Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Pilsen
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. 78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.4% against 11.3% nationally.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Housing insecurity runs 26.5% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,209, 16% below the Chicago average.
Court records carry 100 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2013, when 4.1% of renter households were served. 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 1.7% of renter households face a filing.
