Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Skevanston
What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,669 a month, rents run 72% over what the rest of Skokie commands. The voucher gap is 51.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
It sits 2.5 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Cost burden runs 57% here against 45.6% across Cook County.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 40 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.7% 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 3.3% of renter households face a filing.
