Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bellwood
The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10.
It sits 1.5 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,500, 16% above the Bellwood average. Housing insecurity runs 22.8% against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 251 evictions over 15 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 26.2% against 17.8% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 9.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
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.
