Marynook Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Average gross rent is $905, 37% below the Chicago average.

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

77% 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. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.6/10. Cost burden runs 56% here against 45.6% across Cook County.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,983 evictions over 15 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 12.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.

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