On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

Court records carry 133 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,638, 14% above the Chicago average. Filings peaked in 2008 at 10.6% of renter households.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 8.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 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.
