Lilydale Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

At $2,244 a month, rents run 56% over what the rest of Chicago commands. Set annual rent against average income of $66,927 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. The voucher gap is 27.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 1.6 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

SNAP participation runs 28.3% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.7/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 106 filings here across 15 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 25.0% 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.
