Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brookdale
This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $56,357 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Housing insecurity runs 31.1% against 14.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 761 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,647, 14% above the Chicago average.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 11.3% of renter households. 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 8.6% of renter households face a filing.
