Roosevelt Square Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

70% 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. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

At $1,140 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.9% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 40% here against 45.6% across Cook County. The filing record is not thin: 218 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 21.5% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2014, when 2.0% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 1.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
