Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Side
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Against Cook County at 45.6%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 332 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 5.5% of renter households. 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 3.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
