Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Windsor Park
Food insecurity runs 41.8% against 17.8% nationally. The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. At $984 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Against Cook County at 45.6%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened.
Court records carry 4,626 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 14.1% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
