Court records carry 106 eviction filings across 15 observed years. It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. Filings peaked in 2001 at 1.4% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 0.7% 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.
