These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Corwith
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. It sits 1.8 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. Food insecurity runs 33.6% against 17.8% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. SNAP participation runs 26.0% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 30 evictions over 13 years of observation.
At $1,262 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The worst year on record was 2009, when 4.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 1.7% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
