Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 410 evictions over 15 years of observation.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. Cost burden runs 42% here against 45.6% across Cook County. The worst year on record was 2010, when 4.7% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
