Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Raynor Park

The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.5/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Will County average of 4.2.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 6.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,315, 11% below the Crest Hill average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Joliet. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

40% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $70,466.
