Dharma verdict
78–88. Undervalued, at the margin.
Recommendation: watch. A gap of +8 — residual sourced suppression, real but modest. Monitor the conditions that would widen or close it. (Gap +8)
What's holding the 75 down
Incumbent Latino population displacement
+3.4
606 Trail housing-price displacement amplifier
+2.2
Rent burden on remaining incumbent households
+1.2
Community trust/cohesion erosion from displacement pressure
+0.8

Trust is a core axis of this thesis, not a footnote. High capital with low trust is exactly the pattern the Suppression Weight is built to surface — the Dharma Zone is where capital and trust move together.
LATENTlow capital · high trust
Trust is high but capital hasn’t arrived yet — the upside the thesis chases.
DHARMA ZONEhigh capital · high trust
Capital and community trust move together — the healthy target state.
SUPPRESSEDlow capital · low trust
Both capital and trust are held down — the starting condition suppression creates.
EXTRACTIVEhigh capital · low trust
Money is flowing in but the community doesn’t trust it — value is pulled out, not built.
v1 placeholder calibration (rho=0.80, ceiling=100). No headlineBand pinned (no external pitch value supplied); the engine derives the band from mean confidence. cc=75 is grounded in Census ACS estimates for Logan Square, which show median gross rent and median home value among the fastest-rising in Chicago since 2010 — the market has (over-)capitalized the neighborhood following the 606/Bloomingdale Trail investment, not a suppression showcase. quadrant.capital/trust are a qualitative placement, refine with the content owner: capital (80) reflects Logan Square's now-high market position; trust (37) reflects the sourced incumbent Latino-community displacement, 606 Trail price-amplifier, rent-burden, and cultural-erosion factors above, placing Logan Square in the high-capital/low-trust EXTRACTIVE quadrant outside the Dharma Zone. Two candidate suppression-factor domains were researched and dropped under the kill rule as near-baseline for a now-gentrified market (environmental burden, credit denial-rate gaps), and two more as structurally inverted (under-captured reach/capital, data undercount) — see docs/dharma-lens-v2/places/logan-square-chicago.md for the full kill-rule notes. Over-representation shown as low latent gap + extractive quadrant; the engine does not model LV<CC (over-valuation).
