Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Corwith
Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 45.6% across Cook County. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.3/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 30.1% against 11.3% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $36,010 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,104 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Chicago commands.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The filing record is not thin: 171 evictions over 15 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.9% of renter households were served.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
