Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brook Lane
Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 3.1 points. Average gross rent is $2,404, 48% above the Palos Park average.
The voucher gap is 36.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.7/10.
Cost burden runs 40% here against 45.6% across Cook County. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.
Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 filings here across 14 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 14.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 4% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
