Edison Park Eviction Risk: Lower , Chicago

59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Cook County average of 45.6%. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 5.2% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 45 filings here across 15 tracked years.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,701 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Park Ridge commands.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 4.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 10% 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.

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.
