Schorsch Forest View Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 596 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 7.9% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 4.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

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.
