At $2,508 a month, rents run 74% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The voucher gap is 42.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.2/10.

Disability prevalence runs 14.2% against 31.5% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 6.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 64 filings here across 14 tracked years. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

Filings peaked in 2001 at 1.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 1.0% of renter households face a filing.
