Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Windsor Park

This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $36,496, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $1,172 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Court records carry 2,266 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
