Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oakwood Shores
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 32.1% against 15.2% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. Cost burden runs 55% here against 45.6% across Cook County.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Housing insecurity runs 24.7% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 241 evictions over 15 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 5.7% 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 3.2% 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.
