Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Crawford

Adults with no health insurance runs 29.4% against 11.3% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 568 evictions over 15 years of observation. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Cook County average of 45.6%.

SNAP participation runs 23.0% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when 6.0% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 3.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,147, close to the Cicero average. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $73,108.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
