Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Stewart Ridge
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 505 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Housing insecurity runs 21.2% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,139, 12% below the Calumet Park average.
Filings peaked in 2008 at 12.8% of renter households. 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 10.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10.
