Ridgeville Eviction Risk: Moderate , Evanston

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 228 evictions over 15 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,585, 10% below the Evanston average.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 4.7% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 3.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $92,130. 33% 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.
