Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Harvey
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 9.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Hazel Crest, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Cook County average of 5.7 and above the Illinois statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 294 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 6.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.4% of renter households in 2014.
In CDC survey modeling, about 33.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 24.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
