Chinatown Eviction Risk: High , Chicago

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Against the Cook County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Food insecurity runs 31.6% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 11% 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 184 eviction filings across 15 observed years.

SNAP participation runs 23.1% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2012 at 1.3% 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 0.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 3.0 points hotter.

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.
