What drives eviction risk in Homan Square
73% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Cook County average of 45.6%. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.
Food insecurity runs 64.3% against 17.8% nationally. Annualized rent equals 52% of average household income of $24,074, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 45%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Disability prevalence runs 47.3% against 31.5% nationally. At $1,034 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Chicago commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,049 filings here across 15 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 8.9% of renter households. 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. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing.
