Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Joliet

Food insecurity runs 40.0% against 17.8% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. 34% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Will County average of 40.4%. It sits 1.0 points above the Will County average of 4.2.

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.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,204, close to the Joliet average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $68,750.
