West Roseland Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

68% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Cook County average of 45.6%. SNAP participation runs 55.8% against 15.2% nationally.

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $941 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.9/10.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Set annual rent against average income of $33,065 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 971 evictions over 15 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2003 at 14.3% of renter households.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
