Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Historic Palos
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 50 filings here across 14 tracked years.
Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.9/10. SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 15.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 2% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
