Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 28.3% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,174, 18% below the Chicago average.
51% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Cook County average of 45.6%. Court records carry 1,486 eviction filings across 15 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 8.6% 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.
