Garfield Manor Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.1/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 29.8% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,079 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 272 filings here across 15 tracked years.

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.3% 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 2.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #13,349 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
