Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Island
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Housing insecurity runs 25.8% against 14.2% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 485 filings here across 15 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 22.3% against 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 5.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 3.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
