Analysis
What drives eviction risk in K-Town Historic District
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 26.6% against 11.3% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 30.6% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 465 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 7.8% of renter households. 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 5.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.9/10. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
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.
