Oak Lawn Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 31% here against 45.6% across Cook County. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10.

Average gross rent is $1,057, 21% below the Oak Lawn average. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10.

The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 147 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2014, when 6.0% of renter households were served.

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 4.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $104,375, annual rent is just 12%.

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.
