Hollywood Eviction Risk: Elevated , Brookfield

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $64,782, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 7.8/10.

Cost burden runs 55% here against 45.6% across Cook County. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10.

It sits 1.2 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. SNAP participation runs 24.8% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 179 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Food insecurity runs 25.5% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 12.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 7.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 4.3% of renter households face a filing.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
