West Roseland Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Cook County average of 45.6%.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 179 eviction filings across 15 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 7.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 88th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
