Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Clarkdale
Cost burden runs 77% here against 45.6% across Cook County. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.1% against 11.3% nationally.
It sits 1.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. The filing record is not thin: 93 evictions over 14 years of observation.
Housing insecurity runs 22.0% against 14.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2015 at 10.1% 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 3.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #12,481 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
