Ashland Arts District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Evanston

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. At $1,453 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Evanston commands. The filing record is not thin: 64 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 6.7% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2003, when 2.4% 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 1.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $105,469, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
