Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sheffield Neighbors
At $1,931 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Chicago commands. Cost burden runs 57% here against 45.6% across Cook County.
The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 114 evictions over 15 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2002, when 1.4% of renter households were served.
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. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
