What drives eviction risk in West Roseland
22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Average gross rent is $1,161, 19% below the Chicago average. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 26.9% against 17.8% nationally.
Court records carry 207 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Housing insecurity runs 21.7% against 14.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2001 at 12.0% of renter households.
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. In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #15,451 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
