What drives eviction risk in Morgan Park
26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Food insecurity runs 7.5% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 16 filings here across 10 tracked years.
It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.0% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
