Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Williamsburg Square
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.9 points. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
At $1,955 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Northbrook commands. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Food insecurity runs 7.1% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 122 evictions over 15 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 6.0% against 14.2% nationally.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2009, when 5.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
