Brainerd Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

SNAP participation runs 41.0% against 15.2% nationally. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

At $933 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Chicago commands. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Housing insecurity runs 29.9% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 1.6 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Court records carry 222 eviction filings across 15 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 17.2% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 9.8% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #9,433 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
