Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Niles
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 2.3 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.2/10.
16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 69 evictions over 14 years of observation.
SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2009 at 3.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
