Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Stewart Ridge
24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
SNAP participation runs 26.1% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Housing insecurity runs 23.0% against 14.2% nationally.
Court records carry 103 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 9.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 5.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
