Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Clarkdale
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10.
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Housing insecurity runs 23.1% against 14.2% nationally.
Court records carry 97 eviction filings across 15 observed years. SNAP participation runs 23.3% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2013, when 12.6% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 7.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 2% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
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.
