Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Glendale

It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

Housing insecurity runs 29.8% against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation runs 30.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Average gross rent is $1,161, 19% below the Chicago average. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 423 evictions over 15 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 3.7% of renter households were served. 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 2.6% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #7,382 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
