Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Greenwood
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 15 filings here across 9 tracked years.
Against Cook County at 45.6%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
Filings peaked in 2007 at 8.1% of renter households. At $1,313 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Chicago commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 3.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% 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.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 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.
