Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ingalls Park
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.6/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Will County average of 4.2. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.7/10.
9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.9/10.
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. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,361, close to the Ingalls Park average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $54,464.
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.
