Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Auburn
SNAP participation runs 45.8% against 15.2% nationally. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10.
Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $51,835, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10.
The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 0.9 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
Court records carry 616 eviction filings across 15 observed years. The worst year on record was 2002, when 11.1% of renter households were served. 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 7.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
