Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Garfield Ridge
Adults with no health insurance runs 24.9% against 11.3% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Housing insecurity runs 24.4% against 14.2% nationally.
Court records carry 408 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 5.7% 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 3.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #16,032 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
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.
