Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Greektown
Average gross rent is $2,112, 47% above the Chicago average. Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.
Disability prevalence runs 18.8% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
The voucher gap is 19.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 91 filings here across 15 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 2.7% of renter households were served.
