Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Hyde Park

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 39.7% against 15.2% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 41%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $39,688, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 84% 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 2.0 points. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Housing insecurity runs 28.4% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 434 filings here across 15 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,306, 9% below the Chicago average.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 9.7% of renter households were served.

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