Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wildwood
At $3,501 a month, rents run 126% over what the rest of Skokie commands. The voucher gap is 98.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.5 points. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 45 filings here across 12 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 8.2% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 25.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 6% 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.
