Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lake View

The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Disability prevalence runs 16.2% against 31.5% nationally. The voucher gap is 20.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs 40% here against 45.6% across Cook County.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 4.3% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,125, 15% above the Winnetka average.

Court records carry 24 eviction filings across 10 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 4.6% of renter households were served.

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.
