Wicker Park Eviction Risk: Lower , Munster

The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Lake County average of 4.4.

SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,744 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Munster commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $125,700, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
