Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Indian Hill

Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 3.1 points. What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10.

At $3,253 a month, rents run 64% over what the rest of Wilmette commands. The voucher gap is 84.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Food insecurity runs 5.1% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 3.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 20 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 3.6% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
