What drives eviction risk in Morgan Park
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.
At $1,156 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Chicago commands. The filing record is not thin: 52 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2014 at 2.6% 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 1.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $108,788, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
