Mount Pleasant Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Cost burden runs 53% here against 45.6% across Cook County. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 147 eviction filings across 15 observed years. At $1,229 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Chicago commands.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 4.3% of renter households. 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 2.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely.

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.
