Hanson Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.2% against 11.3% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 26.7% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,219, 15% below the Chicago average. The filing record is not thin: 172 evictions over 15 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 9.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 3.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
