Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southport Corridor
At $2,218 a month, rents run 54% over what the rest of Chicago commands. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. The voucher gap is 26.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.6/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 8.1% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 64 evictions over 15 years of observation.
It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. Filings peaked in 2001 at 0.8% of renter households.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 0.6% of renter households face a filing.
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.
