Central Station Eviction Risk: Moderate , Chicago

The voucher gap is 36.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.7/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
