Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pulaski Park
Average gross rent is $2,335, 62% above the Chicago average. The voucher gap is 32.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.3/10.
Disability prevalence runs 16.7% against 31.5% nationally. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 233 filings here across 15 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 5.4% of renter households were served. 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 2.3% 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.
